We LOVE the leadership + dance community at Cultivate! Our daughter loves going every week to her hip hop + musical theatre classes and leaves with a smile on her face. I am so thankful she has this wonderful place to express herself + grow with some of the best instructors!

★★★★★ — Nikki, Oct 2024

My daughter has danced on and off with this studio since age 4 in all genres. We only left due to a move to Germany in 2018. After coming back to some bad experiences with some less caring studios like SMAC we are so happy she is dancing at the newly designated Cultivate Dance Project (awesome new name and owners!

★★★★★ — Larissa, Jan 2025

My daughter has THRIVED in this inclusive, all-things-dance-passionate studio. Many genres are taught to develop the most comprehensive skills from beginners and recreational to advanced competition-ready performers. The studio owners care deeply about their students and have on staff experienced dance instructors.

★★★★★ — Penny, Oct 2024

The owners, staff and kids in the studio are all very genuinely kind people. My daughter participates in the studio and is treated like an extension of their family. Everyone in the studio very accepting of differing individuals, and engages with one another as a very cohesive friendship.

Your first ballet class at Cultivate Dance Project

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.
