From the reviews
Backstage Dance Complex (BDC) is exceptional. I highly recommend the studio to families interested in fostering a love of dance in your children while building confidence, physical and mental strength, strong friendships and excellent dance technique and performance qualities.
My daughter has been attending Backstage Dance Complex for the past year and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We’ve been amazed by the progress she has made since joining the studio. She looks forward to every class and comes home excited.
My daughter has grown so much with Backstage Dance Complex (formerly The Dance Connection). When she started there four years ago she loved to dance but was a bit apprehensive about continuing classes after a prior experience elsewhere.
The best dance studio around - has everything for the little dancer through the most competitive levels. Miss Jenn has been my daughter’s dance teacher for over 12 years and we couldn’t be happier - she has thrived under Jenn!!! My daughter has grown up at this studio and I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Your first ballet class at Backstage dance complex
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.
