From the reviews

Dancation Studio of Dance and Theatre is absolutely amazing! I can not recommend it enough! My daughter has been going there for 4 years. We love all her teachers. They truly boost each dancer, not only with their dance ability, but also with their confidence and self-worth. I love that this is a family run business.

★★★★★ — Denise, Feb 2021

I love Dancation because of the kind teachers, staff, and life long lessons I was able to learn. Mrs. Tabitha is such an kind-hearted teacher and she was very supportive and kind to my sister and I when we first joined lyrical.

★★★★★ — Urboshi, Feb 2022

My 3 year old has been in Ms. Tabitha's class since the summer of 2024 and we love it! Having not started school yet at that time, this was my daughter's first independent, social environment and I was a bit worried about her slow-to-warm personality. Ms.

★★★★★ — Susan, Feb 2025

We switched to Dancation from another local studio last year and were thrilled with the dance education our girls received! Their skills and technique improved, along with their self esteem and self confidence. We can not thank the staff enough for their kind & caring attitude that helped our girls meet with success!!

Your first ballet class at Dancation Studio of Dance & Theatre

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.
