From the reviews

Daughter has been here since day one. (Actually before Mr. Philip had his own studio.) All the instructors are courteous, kind and have a keen eye for detail in dance. We are treated like family here. My daughter has gone from knowing nothing about dance to being ... well pretty amazing.

I attend a Goddess Yoga class at Destination Dance. The class was so moving and gave me a chance to connect with my feminine energy. The dance studio was safe and a beautiful space to enjoy this class. Check out Goddess Yoga on Sunday nights at this amazing studio.

We have been with Destination Dance Hawaii for over a year and I must say we are absolutely amazed! From the moment we walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth and kindness by the staff and instructors. The studio itself is a home away from home.

Your first ballet class at Destination Dance Hawaii, LLC

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.
