From the reviews
Shannon at Dance Expressions is unbelievable!! My daughter has a unique learning style and Shannon and her team has worked with me and more importantly her to enable her to succeed and excel in dance. My daughter loves going to dance and has fun and has improved so much!!
I've been to 4 different studios, and Dance Expression's is the best. I started coming here my senior year of high school, and I loved the choreography. Shannon and Lauren really pushed us, and I grew a lot that year. Now that I'm away for school, I take the adult classes in the summer and winter.
Shannon and Dance Expressions literally changed my daughter’s trajectory. Six years ago She started at Dance Expressions after being with another company for six years. She literally needed to be re-trained and learn proper technique.
My daughter has been dancing here since Shannon opened in 2013. She just recently graduated and we could not have loved our experience anymore than we did at Dance Expressions. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, kind and determined to make your child better.
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.
