From the reviews

I just had the pleasure of meeting Vickie for the first time about a week ago. I will tell you this- she saved my daughter's week! We had her all signed up for a class in Traverse City and I also have a home in Ingham County.

★★★★★ — Tammy, Jul 2019

I’ve been sending my daughter here for the past 12 years. I absolutely love this studio. The instructors are amazing. The recitals are super enjoyable and we’ve even got to travel a little so my daughter could dance at different locations. It’s an amazing place for any child. 10/10 highly recommend!!

★★★★★ — Melanie, Apr 2023

You will not find more caring teachers than this studio. My daughter will cherish them and the friendships she has made in the last 11 years for her entire life. I could not say enough wonderful things about The Dance Studio❤️

★★★★★ — Aimee, May 2023

Ms. Vickie is absolutely amazing and has the patience of a saint! My daughter loved her dance class and then we did a dance together and that was very special! Vickie is such a wonderful person! We’re truly blessed to have been a part and meet so many good friends!

Your first ballet class at Dance Studio

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
