From the reviews
My two youngest children are currently attending Dance Empire! My eldest son also attended DE! I remember when he started, just dancing all over the place. To see how he has grown into the phenomenal dancer and now choreographer he is today makes me continue to smile.
My 5 year old daughter has been dancing at this studio for the past 3 years. I also grew up dancing with the owner myself. I can’t say enough positive things about the studio and about the staff and the teachers in general.
I have had both of my daughters dance with Dance Empire with the DE School and the DE Elite Company. With both experiences, my daughters have been exposed to all genres of dance, making them well rounded in their craft.
I went to Dance Empire to prepare for a musical theater dance audition and did private lessons with Angel. She is the kindest and most encouraging dance teacher I have ever had.
Your first ballet class at Dance Empire of Miami
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.
