From the reviews

Signing up my 9 yr old for weekly classes was one of the best things I’ve ever done for her! My daughter is autistic, but Dance Expressions didn’t hesitate to invite and include her. She’s learned more social and physical skills at dance than she has in her therapies.

Dance Expressions has been absolutely awesome this summer! My 6 yr old daughter has had a blast! I signed her up for 9 different camps at the unlimited price which was extremely reasonable (for each camp...1 hour a day, 1 day a week for 3 separate weeks...so 3 camps a week for 3 hours M-TH).

★★★★☆ — Lindsay, Jul 2021

We love Dance Expressions! The teachers are great with the girls, always available to communicate, and efficient in keeping things going. The best part is that they keep it all about fun! My three year old LOVES it!

Your first ballet class at Dance Expressions

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.
