From the reviews
I’ve been at Dance Specialties since I was five years old. I love this place. It has had my heart since I was a little girl. I enjoy all the classes and love the recitals! The dance class is a for fun class not real strict which is great for growing girls and boys! Miss Megan is the best, so great with the kids!
Wonderful studio. The kids have so much fun here. It is a positive and inclusive environment. The recitals are entertaining, high energy, and seamless. This is a non competitive studio that doesn’t do awards so I don’t think the person who posted the negative review about awards meant to post here.
Our girls have danced at several studios, but none can measure up to Dance Specialties. There is a true family atmosphere where students and parents alike are made to feel at home.
The best experience hands down!! The instructor is so patient with the little one's. I've been recommending this dance studio to many others. Keep up the good work!
Adult ballet at Dance Specialties
Dance Specialties 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 Specialties
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.
