From the reviews
My oldest is in her third season as a Company dancer and I can't say enough about how much she has grown in all aspects since joining Design. The dance education is excellent and the owners, faculty and guest teachers are all incredibly talented, encouraging, and supportive of their students.
This studio provides a small and artistic setting for young dancers. They specialize in lyrical, ballet, and contemporary styles. From 4-year-olds to high school seniors, they offer a program that grows youngsters into gorgeous dancers who understand choreography, body movement, and commitment to their art.
Can't say enough! Genuine, great, kind owners/teachers, small class size and personal attention. So wonderful, we had my daughters 11th birthday party there - huge hit!
Your first ballet class at Design Dance Studio and 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.
