From the reviews

Truly an amazing studio with dedicated teachers. They focus on creating well rounded children instead of just good dancers. My daughter has grown in every way possible since she started at BC Dance. Highly recommend!!!

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Jul 2017

Our family came to BC Dance six months ago in the middle of a dance season. The teachers, staff, and dancers welcomed my girls right away with warm and welcoming open arms and went out of their way to immediately include them in dances even though we joined late in the season. Mr.

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Jun 2017

My daughter has grown tremendously in the last six months. I find that the instruction is both challenging and fun. She looks forward to dance each week. Best of all the teachers are caring and want to see each child become the very best they can be!

Your first ballet class at BC Dance: The Ballet Conservatory of Dance, Music & Art

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.
