From the reviews
This is a great dance studio offering a loving environment for dancers of all ages! My 4 year old dances here and my adult daughter is now taking summer classes while on break from college courses. My four year old participated in the spring recital and it was AMAZING!
Is the best dance place i’ve ever been to. Ballet is amazing, great teachers, responsibility, and kindness i love danceworks!❤️❤️❤️
Been at this studio for 9 years. Love the teachers, and the classes are excellent. This studio helped me fall in love with dance.
I have had my child in this amazing school for several years now and can honestly say this studio is worth the investment. I have taken dance classes all over the world and Danceworks by far is my favorite in Ellis County. My daughter has grown such a passion for dance and is gaining an understanding of how to dance.
Adult ballet at Danceworks
Danceworks 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 Danceworks
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.
