From the reviews
My wife and I took dance lessons here for our wedding and we absolutely loved them. Kathy and Joe are easy to learn from and are both fantastic instructors. They accommodated everything that we asked for and had a ton of suggestions for us on things that we didn't think of.
We, old timers, were preparing for our 50th. I had clumsy moves and Kathy was amazing, very patient, professional, kind, and sharing good priorities of dance. I got quite a bit better and definitely enjoyed our 50th.
My daughter loves this place. The instructor(Mrs Colleen) is awesome. I highly recommend this for dance!
Both my fiance and I, as well as my mom and I took some dance lessons from Kathy for our first dance and mother/son dance for our wedding. Reasonably priced, and amazing value for what you get out of the dance session. We learned so much, and it gave us confidence for the big day.
Your first ballet class at Demaira Dance Studios Inc.
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.
