From the reviews
My kids have learned so much from the instructors at Burns. They are knowledgeable and friendly. The studio is very organized and easy to work with! Would not go anywhere else!
A great place for your child to dance and learn life lessons. My daughter has danced here for 3 years and has grown so much as a dancer! Highly recommend!
We have been a part of the Burns Dance Studio family since 2017 when my daughter enrolled in the preschool ballet/tap combo class at age 4. She is now 9 and has been a member of the Performing Company for the past 3 years, growing skills in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, musical theater and hip hop.
We love Burns Dance Studio! My oldest has been dancing here since she was 3 and is now almost 10, part of the performing company. Dance isn’t just something she does, it’s what she lives for, and this studio has played such a huge role in growing her confidence, technique, and passion over the years.
Your first ballet class at Burns Dance Studio
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.
