From the reviews
My daughter is going into her 4th year of recreational dance at this studio and loves it. All her teachers are wonderful and Miss Alexis puts on a great recital every year!
Wow these negative comments are ridiculous to me it sounds like a bunch of stuck up parents that get butt hurt when they dont get their own way. It is an amazing dance studio and the instructors and owner is absolutely amazing.
Great place to learn dancing. There are multiple studios and the teachers are great. All of the dance teachers are very skilled and have compassion for each of the students. The owner of the studio is collage trained and is very experienced with competition dancing.
These reviews are not true. I think someone that may have personal issues with her may have made them up. Alexis is a very talented dance teacher, and a very sweet person! Her dance studio is clean and she is not the slightest bit mean! Her instructors are also very talented and genuine nice and happy people!
Adult ballet at DeStella Dance Centre
DeStella Dance Centre runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at DeStella Dance Centre
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.
