From the reviews
My daughter started taking a toddler dance lesson class when she was 2.5-year-old. It was quite a challenge for her to follow instructions at first because she's never attended daycare or had any sitters due to pandemic and had no previous experiences being supervised by other adults besides me and my husband.
Teachers are kind and well experienced. Dances and costumes are age appropriate and body positive. At Miss Cynthia’s Dance Studio neurodiversity and all physical abilities are celebrated! It is gender inclusive and encourages everyone to be themselves!
My daughter has been dancing here for almost a year and absolutely loves it. My daughter looks forward to dance every week, all of the teachers are so amazing. The dance studio is truly a wonderful environment with everyone being so supportive of each other!
This is a wonderful dance studio full of kind compassionate and talented teachers for dance and music lessons!
Your first ballet class at Cynthia's School of Dance & Music
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.
