From the reviews

The Dance Factory School of Performing Arts is one of the best dance studios in town. The staff are friendly, and they offer a family friendly environment. Our experience for the last 9 years have been great. We are thankful to be part of this dance family.

The entire staff is great! My daughter began dancing at this studio at age five and until she was 16. We moved away for a couple of years in-between and she attended another studio - there was no comparison in the professionalism, creative dances, show productions, etc. We both really miss her TDF dancing days!!

★★★★★ — Bernice, Oct 2016

The Dance Factory has a great environment. As soon as you walk in you feel like part of a big family. They are focused on teaching children the principles of dance technique as well as giving them an outlet to express their feelings.

Your first ballet class at Dance Factory School-Performing

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.
