From the reviews
My twin girls have been going to DCD since 2015 for pre-ballet. They are now in 2nd grade and have also participated in 2 Nutcrackers and 1 spring performance. They LOVE it. Especially they enjoy the performing. I am a former dancer (15 yrs of training) so I was a little picky about where I wanted to send my daughters.
My daughter loves DCD! After dancing at another studio, we moved here for the outstanding ballet instruction and friendly, non competitive environment. She spends a lot of time dancing and I couldn’t have asked for a better second home for her.
We highly recommend DcD. Our daughter has had a positive experience from day one and learned so much from Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Cori. Her passion for dance and her skills have grown tremendously over the past three years under their instruction.
My daughter has been dancing with DCD for 6 years since she was 3. She absolutely loves the studio, teachers and her friends there. I would say that one of the features of DCD that makes it so special, is the interaction between older dancers and the younger ones through the Nutcracker and Triple Bill performances.
Your first ballet class at Dance Conservatory of Denver
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.
