From the reviews
My daughter loves dancing at DIDC. The studio is such a positive light! This is her second year, and the foundational ballet she’s learning in addition to the foundation of friendship building and body positivity is one you can’t replicate!
Multiple friends recommended DIDC after their own children studied there. We started out with Dancing Darlings for our 2 year old then moved into Tiny Tutus. The classes are small and Miss JJ has become my daughter’s favorite human.
My daughter loves dancing at dance innovations. She has taken the combined tap/ballet class for two years and has had a great experience. There are a ton of class options - musical theater, acro, hip hop. We just love the convenience of the combined tap/ballet class. I also love that I can watch her on tv in the lobby!
We are, thus far very impressed with DIDC. The teachers are incredibly patient and full of passion. This was our second year with DIDC and can see nothing but growth and excitement in our dancer. Thank you, DIDC and your amazing group of teachers. We are so lucky to be apart of this family.
Adult ballet at Dance Innovations Dance Center
Dance Innovations Dance Center 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 Innovations Dance Center
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.
