From the reviews
We joined the studio 5 years ago and I could not be happier! Emma has grown so much and learned from the best teachers. She has found something she loves and is able to spread her wings. All of the instructors have so much experience and truly love their dancers.
I have been going to this studio for about 11 years, since I was 3 years old. Mrs.Val has given me so many experiences including helping me go to joffreys summer camp. It was an amazing experience for me and I learned so much.
This will be my daughters 3rd year of dance at Dance Delaware! The teachers are fantastic, they welcomes my daughter with open arms on the very first day and we both fell in love! Ms. Valerie the owner is the sweetest woman you could ever encounter and she has a staff that is astounding!
I am blessed to have a great place for my daughter to learn her passion and make her life long friends, sisters. Thanks to Miss Val and her wonderful staff for all the hard work and caring they put into their extended family of Dance Delaware, DD Studios❣️
Your first ballet class at Dance Delaware
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.
