From the reviews

Danceworx Academy has been a wonderful introduction to dance and movement for my 2 year old daughter! The Saturday Parent-Tot class led by Miss Sierra is developmentally appropriate for 2 and 3 year olds and focuses on movement, pre-dance skills, and fun!

★★★★★ — Valerie, Feb 2025

Our daughters have danced here for years! The teachers combine the appropriate amount of fun and discipline to help dancers progress without burning out.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Sep 2020

For as long as I have been a part of our community dance has been a pivotal part of my world so when I had daughters I knew that it was something that I wanted them to participate in.

Your first ballet class at Danceworx Academy and Yoga Studio

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.
