From the reviews
My daughters have started taking classes this summer, as is normal for our family when we do something we are all in. my 12 year old started about a month ago, and is attending her third week of Circus Intensive my 14 year old just completed a week of Dance Intensive (at another wonderful studio) and just started…
Very great staff, I'm in my late 20's, weigh 180lbs, have had two pregnancies (one being twins). So, you can imagine I'm not in great shape. Anyways, but I love aerial workouts and fitness, and have always dreamed to do it. I was doubtful at first, but they encouraged me to come in and try.
Brilliant place to learn a variety of skills, and practice and hone new ones. I travel year round performing and get to come here every winter to train, and the instructors and students are all beyond phenomenal.
Updated review: Both of my daughters now attend Dance & Circus Arts of Tampa Bay, and this is most definitely our 2nd home. In August, it will be 3 years for us at this studio, and we have no plans on leaving!
Your first ballet class at Dance and Circus Arts of Tampa Bay
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.
