Each of our kids have been part of DanceSpace in one way or another for the past 11 years. They've participated in rec classes as well as Crew and now Performance Company. Our dancers have grown up and are still growing at DanceSpace.

★★★★★ — Jenn, Nov 2023

As a working teacher and choreographer in the Denver metro area, I have had the opportunity to experience numerous different studios in Colorado and have loved getting to see the different environments in each place. DanceSpace has always been the place that checks all the boxes.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Jan 2021

My friend goes to Dance Space (I'm joining) and the first day she was there she said it was fabulous! The teachers make sure the students enjoy their time yet get their dance moves down. They don't rush the students, and they make sure that the students have more dance moves to work on if they know all the others.

★★★★★ — Roseyproductions1, Jan 2014

This is our second season at Dance Space, and I can't speak highly enough about our experience. As someone who works in customer service, I truly value the ease of communication and support provided by the staff. They are always friendly and accommodating, making the entire process enjoyable.

Your first ballet class at DanceSpace

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.
