“As soon as we arrived the vibe felt so welcoming and everyone was just so nice 🥰 My son had a great time in his trial class 😊 and now he is finally registered!”
What families & students say
“Love the Dance studio, everyone is really nice and helpful, my daughter loves it.”
“The studio has been so supportive as I have a newborn and they let my twins switch off weeks so it’s not 3 on 1!”
“She still dances, performs in recitals and uses all the skills she learned at Dance Affair.”
From the reviews
I really enjoy the instructors at this studio. I do wish I didn’t have to stay inside the waiting area until my daughter’s class is over. The parents in the waiting area gossip way too much and it’s very uncomfortable to overhear so much personal information in a children’s dance studio.
I looked all over to find an intro dance class for a 63 year old woman who hasn't danced in years (me!). The adult intro tap class is perfect for me! Joni is a terrific teacher, always smiling, so encouraging and patient, not too fast or slow. And the others in the class are older persons too, so I feel right at home.
Although it’s been years since my daughter danced here (from ages 2 through 17), Dance Affair installed a love of dance in her that continues to this day. She still dances, performs in recitals and uses all the skills she learned at Dance Affair.
A dance studio with many types of classes. We scheduled a private session with Christine for help with our wedding, and she was great!
Your first ballet class at Dance Affair
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.
