From the reviews
I cannot say enough wonderful things about DTRI! My daughter started here in September and I am in total amazement at all she has learned and is doing in these few short months!
*Warning: Joining the DTRI family comes with a strong possibility of having to pry your child out of the studio after classes. In the right studio, dance is more than just steps - it’s about the lifelong friendships you make along the way. That’s exactly what you get with DTRI!
DTRI was recommended to us over the years as my daughter LOVES acro! But we had faced difficulty with dance elsewhere in the past with sensory and anxiety diagnoses, and were hesitant. All I can say is that I wished we had joined sooner.
DTRI is not just a dance studio, it is a second home and family for dancers and their loved ones. The mentorship and support from owner/director Jennifer Vecchio and staff is unparalleled.
Your first ballet class at Dance Theatre of Ri
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.
