From the reviews

DMC is my daughter’s second home. She started here just after Covid in one of the star classes and loved it. Now we are on year 6 at the studio and year 5 on the performance team and she has grown so much as a person and a dancer.

My daughter has been dancing at DMC for almost 7 years, with 6 of those years being on the performance company team. We love DMC! Everything from the fantastic dance teachers to the support staff, this company truly cares for your children. We can’t imagine my daughter dancing anywhere else; this is now our family!

★★★★★ — Robyn, Mar 2026

DMC is a wonderful dance studio! My daughter has been dancing at DMC for 5 years and has grown so much in her skills, technique, and self confidence. She loves going to class each week, and has made wonderful friendships. The staff at DMC is very helpful and kind. They want to see their dancers succeed at every level.

Your first ballet class at Dance & Music Creation

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.
