From the reviews
DCN is a great place run by caring and professional teachers. My daughter has studied ballet and tap there for 5 years. She has had a fun time, and has had great experiences there. Their dance recitals are also quite a production. The teachers and kids work very hard, and put on a great show!
Granted it's been years since I took lessons here, but when I did it was a truly wonderful experience. Friendly, knowledgeable instructors and a great place to learn a beautiful artform
My daughter has been taking classes since September. In just that short time, I have seen her technique drastically improve over her elementary school after school program training. Dance Centre North gives their students the opportunity to perform locally in products throughout the year.
Adult ballet at Dance Centre North
Dance Centre North runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Dance Centre North
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.
