From the reviews

My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves her dance class! From the very first day, the instructor Sadie made her feel comfortable, excited, and inspired to dance. The staff is so patient and wonderful with young kids….. they combine fun and learning perfectly.

This is our third year at Dana's and we love it. My daughter started a second class this year to start working on technique and is really enjoying it. I appreciate that the younger classes were focused on enjoying dance while learning movements & now that she's older it's incorporating more technique while still…

This dance studio is amazing!! When we first started looking around, they were the only ones that actually replied back about an inquiry to try a class. They are so nice and their teachers are amazing! We are currently taking Ms. Amy’s class and she is so great with little ones! We have also taken Ms. Savannah and Ms.

Love this place so far! My daughter had so much fun on her first day, and everyone here is very nice. Great atmosphere and I appreciate the organization and up front prices and directions given. The resources are also good and I’m excited for the Holiday dance!

Your first ballet class at Dana's Studio of Dance

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.
