★★★★★ — Terrie, Mar 2018

DaySpring has been a ray of sunshine in our children's lives. It is such a warm and welcome community that has helped our kids gain confidence in theater and developing connections outside of school. They both look forward to DaySpring every week for theater class and absolutely love the summer camps.

★★★★★ — Alana, Feb 2025

I always say that Dayspring has been a godsend for us. My daughter has been in private school, public school, and homeschool, but with Dayspring we finally found the right fit.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Feb 2025

This school is top notch! The teachers are some of the best out there. We have been with the school many years with this year being our first at the academy high school. The teachers are devoted to the kids learning and growing educationally.

Your first ballet class at DaySpring Arts & Education

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.
