Summer camp review- my daughter participated in two different themed weeks of camp and based on her reviews each day, I think they were both wonderfully led for her age range! We really enjoyed the last day of 'parent showcase' at the end to see what they worked on through the week.
So far I have tried their Adult Ballet, Hip hop, contemporary and now the new broadway jazz classes, They have been so good!, I'm so glad that there is finally adult classes in the area and it's great for all sorts of level of dances whether beginner or advanced.
Adult ballet at Dance Moves of Charleston-Nexton
Dance Moves of Charleston-Nexton runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Dance Moves of Charleston-Nexton
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.
