From the reviews

Great and fun dance studio. We took our 2.5 year old to a (FREE!) dance&tap class trial and she’s hooked, now she’s registered for regular Saturday classes and we’ll be here learning how to dance for years to come.

I signed up my 2 1/2 year old daughter for a dance trial at Dance Image and couldn’t be more impressed! The studio was decorated with cute pictures of their dance teams and awards and art work done by the dancers. There are plenty of benches for you to sit down and wait for the class to start.

★★★★★ — Nancy, Nov 2025

I took my 4 year old granddaughter for her very first dance lesson with a trial voucher and I signed her up for future classes that same day. I was very impressed with the whole experience from the time I walked in with my granddaughter. Most importantly…….. my granddaughter can’t wait for her next class.

They were very nice and responsive, since the moment that I was looking for a studio that would accommodate my daughter who has autism. You can tell that they truly care about their dancers and DO NOT DISCRIMINATE and are willing to accommodate weather your child is special needs or not. The dance instructor Ms.

Your first ballet class at Dance Image

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.
