From the reviews
I have danced there for almost 10 years and it is like a second home! I love dancing there, the owners are great, and I would highly recommend it.
Civic Dance Center is a second home. You can meet new people and actually learn how to dance good. The owners are awesome!
I love Civic Dance Center. I take 5 classes a week and have just started pointe. Love all the teachers and I have made lots and lots of great friends.
My daughter took dance classes here as well as my niece. They offer class for toddlers to teens in many different types of dance .Tap,jazz,ballet,etc.
Your first ballet class at Civic 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.
