From the reviews

What I have found in life is you get out of something what you put into it. If you come in expecting negative you will find negative. If you come in expecting positive you will find positive. If you love to dance, come here to dance and you will become a better dancer.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Nov 2025

Our girls absolutely love Dance Works Too!! They look forward to every class and always come home glowing - full of energy, smiles, and new moves to show us. The teachers are incredibly talented, caring, and patient with every dancer, creating such a positive and fun environment.

★★★★★ — Doug, Nov 2025

I have been dancing here since I was 3 and have loved every moment i’ve spent at DWT! The variety of classes and welcoming nature of the instructors has made this place a second home. I could not recommend going here enough to anybody interested!!

★★★★★ — Isabella, Nov 2025

I danced with the DWT family for 12 years,I graduated in the class of the 2025. This studio isn't just a place to dance. Its a home. Each and every dancer is welcomed and all we do is support. Within my years I have gained nothing but love and support.

Your first ballet class at Dance Works Too!

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.
