From the reviews
Dance with Joy is an amazing Black woman owned, loved, and operated dance studio featuring classes that uplift and engage dancers of all ages and ability levels! My daughter loved browsing the studio’s beautiful library that Mrs. Joy has so carefully and deliberately handpicked.
My kids had an amazing time at Joy’s Dance Studio! She’s fantastic with little ones. We reached out to see if she could set up a class for parents and kids, and she made it happen quickly. So glad we found her—definitely money well spent!
We are so grateful that we found Dance with JOY! When our three year old announced she wanted to start dance lessons we knew we had a lot of options in Denver but we definitely found the best! The season with the #BabyJoys class was amazing! Ms. Joy incorporated so many lessons and skills along with dance!
My husband and I had the honor of taking first-dance lessons with Joy for our wedding, and the experience was incredible. She created a beautiful choreography that blended three different songs, and it turned out absolutely perfect.
Your first ballet class at Dance with JOY
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.
