From the reviews

We found Dance Central via a Facebook ad am so happy we did. I filled out a form and I was able to communicate with them via text which was so helpful for me. We signed up our two girls for the trial class and they both loved it . They are 4 and 2 .

I was looking for a dance studio that had both adult ballet and adult tap classes, and was excited to find Dance Central. It’s super close to where I live, which is a big bonus, and they had several classes my 7 year old son is interested in too.

Your first ballet class at Dance Central

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.
