From the reviews

After trying another dance company we were fortunate to find Dance Works about 14 years ago. One daughter graduated in 2012 from high school and Dance Works. My youngest is still very happily dancing and competing with this company. It is very much like being part of a second family.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Aug 2014

This is the dance studio you hoped to find when you started looking for a place for your child. A place where your child will be accepted and challenged. A safe place where you can trust your child will be nurtured. A place where your child will grow into the best version of themselves.

★★★★★ — John, Sep 2024

Words can not describe how amazing this dance studio is. Ms. LeAnne is the by far the best teacher around, and Ms Gwen is the glue that holds it all together. Dance Works Performings Arts Center is the only studio in town where you will have fun, and learn proper technique at the same time.

★★★★★ — Jenny, Aug 2014

I’ve known LeAnne for 30 years and she’s GREAT!! No one else has as much passion for teaching dance!

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.

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.
