From the reviews

We were new to Colorado and left behind the greatest dance studio in Florida 😢.was worried we couldn't find a replacement...well we did! I am grateful for the day Joy came in to rent a storage unit from me! The sweetest woman ever...and she owned a dance studio?!?! It was meant to be! My daughter loves it!

★★★★★ — Tawni, Aug 2017

My daughter has been going to CRDA for two years and she's just 5 years old. The teachers there are very sweet and patient. Her teacher Maria is amazing and my daughter is excited about every class. Their schedules are well organized and we can easily find a time slot that works for our family schedule.

Your first ballet class at Castle Rock Dance Academy

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.
