From the reviews
We started out at Beth Clarke’s dance studio and the quality has not only continued, but has gotten better with Bold Dance by Peach. My daughter loves her instructor Miss Maddy. She absolutely adores Miss Peach. She loves her dance classes. Her confidence has grown and she is becoming a young lady thanks to Bold Dance.
Peach and her team are fantastic. Our daughter enjoys Bold so much and we appreciate everything they do to coach, train, and mentor her. It’s a great community and they put focus on building them up in personal confidence and responsibility, not just technique and performance.
Peach and her staff have been the perfect fit for our two dance loving kiddos. They are warm and welcoming while also instill core values in our kids such as hard work and determination when skills or steps don’t come easy for them.
This was my daughter's first year dancing and I was blown away with how effective and efficient and fun Bold Dance is as a studio. The teachers are great, the kids have a blast, and the recital ties it all together to really showcase the hard work that goes into dance. I would reccomend them to anyone wanting to dance.
Adult ballet at Bold Dance By Peach
Bold Dance By Peach runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Bold Dance By Peach
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.
