An incredible ballet team! My family and I recently attended the Nutcracker ballet show and were delighted with the professionalism of the participants! Applause! Thank you for all your hard work and hours of rehearsals! Everything was at the highest level!
Excellent dance studio! The faculty and staff are fantastic. My daughter has been dancing there since she was two. The performances are spectacular. We enjoy going to their annual Nutcracker each year. Great place for kids and families!
When choosing a dance studio -there are so many things to consider. But if you value professionalism, character, and opportunity with a friendly inviting smile- then this is your place!
Your first ballet class at Delaware Dance Company
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.
