From the reviews
My family has been with Dancemakers for five years and I've watched my daughters grow in both skills and confidence. At their Tampa studio they provide a warm and inviting environment with a challenging and fun curriculum. We will be here for years to come.
My 2.5 year old started classes at DanceMakers this Fall 2023 season. Considering she hasn't been in any classes, I wasn't sure what to expect. But beginning with our first class I was blown away! Ms. Jackie is their main teacher. She has been phenomenal, and so patient!
Just at a competition and have to say how AMAZING this studio is. My daughter is a dance teacher for another studio and DanceMakers were so nice to share their dressing room with us. Not only were the teachers nice but the moms & dancers too. Dancers were Beautiful!!
I went here in the 90s and glad to see it still has amazing reviews. I won the scholarship at the end of the year dance recital to have free classes for a year! This boosted my confidence as a child and I'll always be thankful for that
Your first ballet class at Dancemakers School of the Dance
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.
