From the reviews
I can’t say enough how wonderful this dance school has been for my family. It turned my wiggly active six-year-old son into a blossoming artist as he now enters adolescence. He’s learned how to move through space in a healthy way and express himself through performance as well.
Our daughter danced at several other studios before coming to DASS. She attended their nutcracker performance when she was 6 and begged to enroll. She has taken ballet and contemporary as well as tap. She would take every class they offered if we were able to provide her with transportation.
I cannot say enough positive things about DASSdance! We first learned about them through an after school class they ran at our daughter's elementary school, which she LOVED. We signed her up for a summer camp (where she got to design a show!), which made clear this was a perfect fit for our young dancer.
My daughter LOVES DASSdance. She did beginning ballet for one session and then switched to the beginning acro class! She really loves gymnastics, but there's nothing really close to us for that. So this is perfect.
Your first ballet class at DASSdance
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.
