From the reviews
I’ve have been going to this dance studio for approximately 13 years and never want to leave. All the staff are amazing and supper supportive. They treat all the students fairly and include everyone. The other students are very kind and easy to make friends with.
Both of our daughters have danced at Barefoot since they were three years old. Barefoot teachers are incredible! They have helped instill confidence in our kids in a supportive, caring, joyful environment - and the dancing is incredible, too.
LOVE LOVE LOVE BAREFOOT. My daughter is old enough to take classes now and we love it. Miss Ashley is a rockstar, the absolute best, and meets your child where they are while maintaining the utmost professionalism teaching my daughter dance etiquette, and always fostering kindness.
This is definitely a JUDGE FREE ZONE!!! The studio has classes that will fit their needs and they work with them without pushing them too far! My girls who are 7 and 4 absolutely love their dance instructors as well as the rest of the staff! It’s going on 4 yrs for my oldest and it’s my youngest 1st yr! So far so good!
Your first ballet class at Barefoot Dance Studios
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.
