From the reviews

Stacy and staff at Dance Designs has done an exceptional job offering talented instructors for their classes and were able to pivot and navigate through Covid so that the dancers never missed out even when we were all at home!

★★★★★ — Savannah, Aug 2021

Our family absolutely loves DDDC! Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students and their families. The instructors were very understanding while my daughter was nervous and adjusting to being in a class setting for the first time.

★★★★★ — Madison, Aug 2021

Dance Designs Dance Complex is like no other. I can honestly say that the family I have found here has given me more love than I would’ve expected in a lifetime. The staff has been there every step of the way, and I greatly credit them for the person I am today.

★★★★★ — Hennessy, Aug 2021

We unexpectedly left our studio in July and immediately started looking for a new dance home. I was nervous about the transition at first, but the owner, Stacy took time to give us a tour and answer all of our questions. My daughter fell in love as soon as she entered the building!

Your first ballet class at Dance Designs Dance Complex

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.
