From the reviews
Dance etc. is by far the best dance school around, especially for the young ones. My 3 year old daughter attends their ballet bears class where she does ballet then tumbling all in a one hour class. She looks forward to it each week and loves her teacher Miss Kelly and the teachers assistant Grace.
Dance Etc. is great! My daughter has been taking dance for the last 4 years here. They are professional and organized. The instructors are attentive and kind. The facility is clean and is setup so that you can watch your kiddo without them seeing and getting distracted (two way type mirror in the little kid rooms).
My daughter has been dancing here since she was 4 years old, and we love it! The staff are amazing and really know how to give the children a quality dance education, in a way that they can understand, all while having fun doing it. In addition, the tuition is much less compared to comparable dance schools.
Our daughter has been dancing here 6 years and it’s been such a great experience. She loves her classes, teachers and the friends she’s made. Every year the Spring Showcase is incredible! We look forward to it all year. We moved a year ago but still drive to attend Dance Etc! Highly recommend to any aspiring dancer!
Adult ballet at Dance Etc.
Dance Etc. runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Dance Etc.
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.
