From the reviews
Two of our girls have taken classes here for the last two years. We loved all the young dancer classes. They were fun and age appropriate. Activities and music were often mixed up from week to week to keep it fresh, and the girls loved all the different dance accessories (hoops, ribbons, stuffed animals, etc).
Both my son and daughter have taken dance classes at Dance Place and we couldn't be happier with our experience with the studio. My son took hip hop dance for several years and learned some fantastic dance skills and gained a great deal of confidence as a performer.
We love Dance Place!! Our son (age 7) has been taking jazz & hip hop classes at Dance Place for a couple of years, and loves it. He has many classes/activities, but dance is the only one that he begs to attend.
Another year wrapping up at Arlington Dance Place . My daughter is always so excited to go to her ballet and tap class . She loves her teachers and making new friends . This year she was a cast member in the school’s production of The Nutcracker- she was in awe of the older dancers and loved being part of the show .
Your first ballet class at Dance Place
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.
