From the reviews
We love Danceworks! My daughter is in her 3rd year of dance. She loves to learn and perform. All the staff are amazing and they care about every child here. You won't regret making the choice to come here!! There are classes of all types and for all levels.
I can't say enough good things about DanceWorks! We moved from out of state 2 years ago and my daughter spent a year at a studio that was lackluster in my opinion, which led me to search for a new dance home for the following year.
We just joined this dance studio so I wanted to give it a couple months before writing review so I can say with all assurance I highly recommend them! The front desk staff is always so patient and helpful answering my questions.
DanceWorks is more than a dance studio, it’s a family. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a smile, and everyone knows your name. The teachers are incredibly well-trained and deeply passionate about what they do, and they invest in each dancer.
Your first ballet class at DanceWorks Performing Arts
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.
