From the reviews

My 10-year-old daughter loves her dance class at Dance Connection; she looks forward to class every week. We enjoyed the Dance Connection family this summer, and from the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcome.

★★★★★ — Jose, Aug 2024

My 4-year-old daughter started ballet/tap in January 2024. Staff were very friendly and understanding at the beginning when we were looking for a class that best suit her. We love that Dance Connection offers different types of dances, performances, recitals, summer classes and summer camps.

★★★★★ — Tania, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful first experience at Dance Connection! The staff gave us a tour and explained everything so clearly. They were very attentive and answered all of my questions about dance. My toddler is enrolled in the Twinkle Toddler class.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Jan 2026

We went in for the twinkle toddler class with our daughter and were so impressed with how kind the staff and teachers were. We were immediately greeted by DJ who works the front desk, she was so warm and kind and answered all my questions. The dance instructors were so good with the little kids.

Your first ballet class at Dance Connection

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.
