From the reviews
I'm a Nana...A grandmother of a Summer Camper 2022. My granddaughter is eight years old. She's bright and beautiful yet with each child there's areas that they can grow to be better and stronger. My granddaughter is very emotional and was lacking in social skills until her experience with Dance Makers Summer Camp!
My daughter had an amazing time at Dance Makers from before covid until 2024. She started out in the non-competitive dance program and eventually was invited to join the competitive dance team. The Director is straightforward and upfront about her expectations from the dancers and parents.
I took my 20 month old to a preview class. She had so much fun. I’m impressed by the hospitality and engagement of the instructors. I’m registering for weekly classes!
Dance Makers has truly been a wonderful dance home for my family. I have been a proud dance mom here since my oldest daughter was just 2 years old, and now both of my daughters are part of the Dance Makers family.
Your first ballet class at Dance Makers
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.
