What families & students say
“My child is in her last year here and has thrived the entire time.”
From the reviews
2024 Update: Still the best little dance school around. My child is in her last year here and has thrived the entire time. The new location is beautiful and more convenient, and the new dance teachers working with Michelle are just as patient and inclusive. 2016: Best dance school around!
Miss Michelle and her staff are so dedicated to the students. Kids get can’t help but get caught up in the positivity of the studio. Excellent experience year after year.
Best dance experience. Pricing is good and dance instructors really want the dancers to excel. 2yrs bringing my daughter here, great experience!
Great, friendly, patient staff. Studio is a bit industrial and spartan, but large. Plenty of parking. Would recommend
Your first ballet class at Dance Institute
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.
