From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing at DPU dance since she was four and she is now almost 17. This place is her 2nd home and she spends more time at the studio then she does at home during the week. She has grown into a completely different person since being in dance.
This space is here for everyone. Every artist deserves a home and this studio allows each one to be celebrated in what they need. Just want a fun class, even as an adult? Want to receive better technique? Want to learn more about your self expression through dance?
Teachers with heart and passion for every student. Our daughter has been dancing here since she was 2 and she is now 9. Her love for dance grows every day and DPU Dance has become our second home/family. The lessons passed down from the teachers to the students are beyond dance skills, they are life skills.
I can’t say enough about this dance studio! If you are looking for an amazing dance education for your child or yourself (yes they even have adult classes) then this is your place!
Adult ballet at Dance Productions Unlimited (DPU Dance)
Dance Productions Unlimited (DPU Dance) runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 Productions Unlimited (DPU Dance)
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.
