From the reviews

Alisa has taught my girls who are now 6 & 8, since they were 3 years old. I couldn’t imagine any one else teaching my girls. She is so patient, kind and fun. She doesn’t make the children feel inadequate and meets each one of them where they are. She offers all types of dance and has a theatre program.

★★★★★ — Tammy, Jan 2020

We love this studio! Alisa Jacobs is amazing with the children and her Emotional Support dog Winnie the Pooh makes visiting the studio even more fun. Dance IQ is very clean. I love that it’s not competitive. We are homeschoolers and attended two different homeschool classes.

★★★★★ — Casey, Dec 2019

So grateful for Dance IQ, Director Mrs. Alisa and the entire staff!! They have given my daughter with special needs the confidence to be herself and develop skills that she never knew she had.

★★★★★ — Ngullen, Jul 2024

Alisa Jacobs is a phenomenal teacher with a passion for dance and the neurological benefits intentional movement can foster. She has decades of experience and a great amount of patience and understanding for children and adults of all ages.

Your first ballet class at Dance IQ

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.
