There are dance studios and then there is DanceXpressions! Sharon Cooksey has worked tirelessly over the years to create a wonderful dance studio. Based on a Christian foundation bound together with family values, our daughter has been part of the DanceXpressions family for over 3 years now.

★★★★★ — Faith, Sep 2016

My daughter absolutely loves dance here. She asks everyday when she is going to dance next. Since I commute far for work having the bus drop her off after school is a huge help and I love the fact there is a camera in the lobby and I can watch her dance!

Your first ballet class at DanceXpressions

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.
