Went to an Ultra Beginner Fitness through Dance class here for the first time ever this weekend. It was amazing! It was my first ballet class ever and even though it was fast paced it was still so fun. Everyone was nice and I didn’t feel out of place. The teacher gave a lot of great cues for total beginners.
After many moves, we finally found a place where my daughter goes with great joy. She used to do gymnastics, but it never brought her as much happiness as dancing does. I myself danced for 11 years and know what it means to be truly passionate — now I see that same spark in my daughter’s eyes.
We love our dance studio! I started my daughters at Dance 360 at the ages of almost 2 and almost 3. They loved going to dance class each week. I like the structure and discipline they are learning in class yet having fun at the same time. I was impressed to see how much they had learned by the end of the dance year.
