From the reviews
Our girls are attending tap and ballet for a while now and love it. The teachers are motivating, kind and honest! We feel welcomed and appreciate the effort they put in all the extras(Christmas party/valentines treats etc) We would definitely recommend them to any new dancer.
All the class, teachers, and students are lovely. The teachers are nice and loving but willing to push you to your best. I have been dancing 10 years at four different studios, and I can honestly say I have never had more fun and learned more at a dance studio than at Dance Works.
Dance Works is fantastic. Awesome staff and I love that they do a charity dance event for christmas. My daughter looks forward to class every week.
My 3 year old has learned so much in the short time that she has been with Dance Works. The staff is amazing and the classes are well structured.
Your first ballet class at Dance Works
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.
