From the reviews
Shared from Joshua Lang Via FB: "They had to close during all of this (covid-19) due to not being essential. The instructors send weekly videos of dance lessons for the kids to do at home. This week we received an email from the owners that they are not going to take a salary to help to keep paying the employees.
Second year for our Lydian Baby. She is four now and the difference from her first year is awe inspiring. She has grown in self confidence and ability physically. Her fear of life has expounded to intrigue and adventure with every aspect of her experiences.
Went to Carson City today for Cinderella. What a fantastic show! The owners and teachers do such a great job teaching kids of all ages to dance and in many different styles. I really enjoyed the show! Hats off to all the teachers, parents and students! Great performances!
An absolutely fantastic dance studio. They offer classes in several disciplines and the instructors are highly trained and educated professionals. Our little ones absolutely love coming back each week for their classes. Just the right balance of learning and fun.
Adult ballet at Dance Workshop
Dance Workshop runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Dance Workshop
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.
