From the reviews

Some of the best teachers who really care about you learning the style of dance you are there for whether your an adult or child dancer. Plus you can take great exercise classes here as well.

★★★★★ — Dami, Jun 2017

The teachers are so caring and kind. They truly want us to grow, and to be stronger and better dancers. They do everything they can to keep us safe. The other dancers at DTS are really supportive, and will always cheer you on. At dance theater studio, I have discovered myself through dancing. I dance all styles.

★★★★★ — Sylvie, May 2017

To join the dance class here was one of the best decisions ever! I joined the beginner Jazz series and very happy with the 7 weeks I have attended. Michelle is a beautiful dancer who really wants her students to learn. She breaks down complex routines into very simple steps without losing the essence of it.

★★★★★ — Madhura, Feb 2018

The afro fusion class here is so much fun! Would highly recommend it to anyone with some dance background.

Your first ballet class at Dance Theatre 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.
