From the reviews

I have 2 girls who dance at DBD, and they have never felt so welcomed anywhere from the moment they walked in the door. The girls made instant friends, and he teachers are beyond exceptional, and truly care about not only the girls success as dancers, but the girls as people.

★★★★★ — Rashaad, Jan 2026

We moved to this studio because the teachers are WONDERFUL with our students. They have visibly progressed in their dance abilities more in just one semester than we have ever seen before, after many years of dance. We cannot recommend them enough!

★★★★★ — Carla, Feb 2026

Dance by Design is a Christian Dance studio that is training the students for excellence all while honoring our Heavenly Father. The instruction is top notch and the studio space is clean and welcoming.

Your first ballet class at Dance By Design

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.
