From the reviews
Our first year with this sweet and highly professional dance studio. From first time walking inside we felt welcomed from every single staff member including the owner Ms Nena. The teachers are wonderful and extremely patient with young dancers, all young helpers are lovely. We can't wait for our first recital.
I have attended Dance South recitals for many years. The dancing is top notch! I'm proud that my granddaughters have been students, and one still is.
Your first ballet class at Dance South
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.
