From the reviews

Dance Expo is more than a dance studio, it’s a second home to our family! The teachers are so invested in the growth of every child that walks through the door, no matter what their level is. They offer more than just the normal dance classes you typically see.

I danced at Dance Expo for 3 years until I had to move.The choreography was always fun and challenging, and we got to learn all kinds of dance styles like ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, and lyrical.

Your first ballet class at DancExpo

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.
