From the reviews
Taking my daughter Crenshaw to her very first dance class was such a special moment for us—and Medina Center for Dance Art made it unforgettable. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth, kindness, and smiles that instantly made us feel at home.
I was so pleased to discover Davis-Parks in my own 'back yard'. So convenient and it has more to offer than I could ask for. I stopped in to observe an adult dance class and found myself 'moving' with the students in no time. I can't wait for my course to begin after the Holidays.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The studio does accept new students for recreational dance for toddler's all the way up to dance team with competition. It is a small studio with a lot of heart. They communicate very well regarding dance deadlines and weather related closings.
My 4 year old LOVES this dance studio! The staff is very nice and welcoming too! I love that you can see your child during class too. I've been to other studios and not liked them as well as MCDA!
Adult ballet at Davis Parks School of Arts
Davis Parks School of Arts runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Davis Parks School of Arts
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.
