From the reviews

I am a student there and I know that you every time you walk in a class you’ll see your teacher is truly excited to see you. The teachers here I believe are not just in it for the money but truly love us students.

★★★★★ — Claire, May 2020

I can't say enough wonderful things about the owner of Dance Me, Brianna Ryan. Not only is Miss Bri an amazing dancer, teacher and choreographer, but she is also such a great role model for all of her students.

★★★★★ — Jillian, Mar 2022

Wonderful Owner. Our girls have been dancing for 14 years. They have learned so much more than dance from Kathy. Character development is an important part of this dance school. Every dancer learns awesome dance skills and strong Christian character before they leave each dance class.

★★★★★ — Brenda, May 2017

Wonderful teachers, reasonable pricing and super supportive and friendly atmosphere at the studio.

Your first ballet class at Dance Me

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.
