From the reviews

We were blessed to have Michaela as our daughters dance instructor for the last 9 years. Michaela not only teaches her students dance, but also poise, grace, and self confidence. Her lessons inspire a self discipline that carry over into every aspect of her students lives.

★★★★★ — Kristi, Jun 2023

We absolutely love Devotion Dance Company! My four -year-old daughter attends ballet and tap classes there, and it has been such a wonderful experience for her. Miss Kristina and Miss Tiffany are truly amazing teachers. They are so patient, kind, encouraging, and genuinely care about each and every child they teach.

★★★★★ — Sadie, May 2024

My daughter started dancing/cheering here over the summer. She is very introverted and on the first day of class was so afraid to go inside because she didn’t know anyone. The staff worked together to make her feel comfortable and introduce her to other girls.

Your first ballet class at Devotions 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.

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.
