From the reviews
I took my first grade class to see “Ladybug Action Hero” at the Broward Center today. It was such a beautiful show with amazingly talented dancers who obviously love what they do and put everything into it! So very professional! The storyteller was fantastic, too.
I was fortunate enough to participate in their Dancing with the Stars, and I will be forever grateful for the experience. Their effort, their work and the quality of their dancers are outstanding!
As a former guest Hip Hop and Jazz teacher I love this company. Judy and Kim are amazing. The young dancers are a beautiful force. Consider enrolling your up and coming dancer today.
We loved seeing this company perform the Nutcracker at the Newberry Opera House in SC. Technique was wonderful and the presentation was delightful!
Your first ballet class at Dance Alive National Ballet
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.
