From the reviews
My daughter and her friends have been with Ms. Karen for 4 years now if not more, and they are still so eager to go every week! They even went twice a week at some point as our schedule permitted. Ms Karen is the most amazing dance teacher and teacher on so many levels.
Long overdue review for Ms Karen and Dance Magic! My daughter has been going to her classes for three years now (from 18m to 4.5, and continuing!), and she absolutely loves it. She has been gaining so much confidence from the time she's spent there.
Ms. Karen is the sweetest teacher! My daughter is 4 and just adores her. The performance are so fun & inclusive of everyone, even the tiniest dancers! There are many options for younger kids especially that work well with parents' schedule.
Your first ballet class at Dance Magic
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.
