From the reviews

Excellent dance studio. Professional, fun, and stellar dance teachers. The culture is amazing. Our girls have been dancing for 4 seasons now and wouldn't go anywhere else. The director Paula is so wonderful and the level of choreography is unmatched.

★★★★★ — Norma, Jun 2022

There are many different activities taking place at dance connection. I have been taking ballet classes from Charles Anderson. If you want to improve your ballet skills and enjoy great music and dance choreography, I don't know of anyplace in Diablo Valley better than Charles' classes.

★★★★★ — David, May 2022

I have twin daughters who are almost nine, and we’re now wrapping up our third season at Dance Connection—and our first year on company. When we were choosing a studio, I was intentional about finding a place that offered strong technique across all styles, fostered a healthy environment, and pushed my girls to grow.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Jun 2026

Highly recommended!Your dancer will come away with an immense amount of technical knowledge and skill; they’ll make many friends in the process!

Your first ballet class at Dance Connection Performing Arts Centre

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.
