From the reviews
I have had at least one child enrolled in The Dance Academy South since its beginning. Mrs. Paige and the teachers have always been kind, professional, and patient beyond belief. The diversity of styles and music selections is fun and refreshing. We plan to continue being a part of the TDAS family for many more years.
My daughter has been dancing here for almost 10 years and she has enjoyed every second of it! It is a great place to learn the love of dance without any added pressure. Ms. Paige and all the teaching staff are great!
Your first ballet class at Dance Academy South
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.
