From the reviews
I have been dancing here my whole life and it is the most amazing studio I have danced at
Amazing teachers, our kids have so much fun. We love being part of this dance family!
I’d like to review the Nutcracker ballet we watched this year (2024). That was the most agreeable surprise of the past few years. The dancers were SO WELL PREPARED, so in tune, it was almost unbelievable. Even the youngest children were great. I must only assume that attending this school must be a great experience.
Great place for learning good technique. Classes for 3yo to adult. Ballet, Pointe, jazz,tap, modern.
Your first ballet class at Dance Center of Kirkwood
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.
