“I’m not really concerned with a recital as much as seeing her learn progressions and her confidence in her movements.”

From the reviews
I have my 5 yo in ballet/tap and she loves it. Ms. Tracy is a wonderful teacher and I can hear and see her working with the class on their step counts, the names of movements and combos, and keeping them engaged.
DancEncounter is such a wonderful dance school. Both my girls have attended DanEncounter the last three years and they enjoy it. Not only have my girls grown in their ability to dance but also in their confidence. The level of dance these young girls/boys perform is outstanding.
Your first ballet class at DancEncounter
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.
