From the reviews
When we moved back to the Pacific Northwest a couple of years ago we were concerned about finding a studio on par with the one we were at in Colorado. Dayley has exceeded our hopes and expectations and has been wonderful to work with.
We've been a part of the studio for 6+ years. The instructors are dedicated to their art and students! The opportunity to get a real pre-professional experience is incredible. There is so much value in being a part of this community.
My daughter has danced with Dayley Dance Academy for the last 7 years, since she was 3, and we have loved our time there. The instructors are amazing and all the staff are so great to work with.
I have two kids who have taken dance classes at Dayley for five years and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. It's the perfect blend of learning dance technique and working hard with having fun. Both kids are always red faced and sweaty after class with big grins on their faces.
Your first ballet class at Dayley Dance Academy
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.
