From the reviews

Both of my daughters have danced here for years (more than a decade!). All About Dance is like their second home and family. The teachers are excellent - focusing on technique and discipline, but more importantly teamwork, inclusivity, commitment, and kindness.

All About Dance is a second home for my two daughters. Exceptionally committed and talented teachers. Warm, fun, and inclusive environment. Offers everything from recreational thru competitive.

All About Dance has been a wonderful environment for my two girls. The staff are not only talented in the art of dance, but also in helping foster confidence, fun, and kindness. I highly recommend AAD to anyone looking for a great dance experience for their children.

Wonderful studio! My daughter has been dancing there for over 10 years and has grown so much as a dancer and a person. Amazing staff, great location, plenty of parking too!

Your first ballet class at All About Dance

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
