From the reviews

My daughter has danced with Miss Jackie for many years, starting at another studio where she taught before opening her own studio. Miss Jackie helped her realize her passion and has been a mentor to her in dance and in life.

My daughter is 6 years old and this is her first experience at a dance studio ever. My daughter loves it! She always has fun, and I’ve seen an increase of her confidence in dance. It’s beautiful to see her bloom. The dance instructors are kind and respectful.

★★★★★ — Iris, May 2021

My daughter has been dancing with Miss Jackie for several years. Jackie is always upbeat and positive and has such compassion for her kids. You really can see her love for dance as she teaches the classes. She also goes out of her way to continue to learn new techniques to bring into her classes.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Jun 2021

I love dancing at Chasing Dreams with Miss Jackie! It is a great studio and all of the staff are very professional and treat everyone equally! All of my dance friends and the staff have become family. I highly recommend choosing Chasing Dreams Dance Center if you are looking for a place to dance!

Your first ballet class at Chasing Dreams Dance Center

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.
