From the reviews

I’ve been searching for a fun, personal, relaxed, conservative dance studio for my daughter and we finally found it! At Captivating Dance Studio I don’t have to worry about music lyrics, costumes or dance moves being inappropriate for my 6-year-old- this was my biggest concern.

★★★★★ — Heather, Nov 2024

Two of my daughters have been students at Dance Around Studios for the past 7.5 years. My girls love that they are learning dance fundamentals and having fun while doing so. I love that the owner chooses to teach with age-appropriate music and dance attire! Tuition rates are very reasonable!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Aug 2019

Samantha is such a wonderful dance teacher. We love how she is so hands on with her students. Best decision ever to move my daughter here. She has grown as a dancer and we look forward to seeing her grow more each year! Recommend 100%!

Your first ballet class at Captivating Dance

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.
