The programs they offer
“I was nervous about my daughter taking dance lessons because I didn’t want her to be expected as a kindergartner to never twirl and giggle and be silly during dance class.”
“She has taken dance is fun, which is meant for little ones, as well as little jazz, little hip-hop, and pre-ballet.”

From the reviews
My girls love taking classes here. It’s a wonderful community that provides love, encouragement and helps build confidence and growth. I know that my children are safe and in wonderful hands. The staff is AMAZING!! The facility is clean and inviting :-) The adult fitness is a great bonus for parents!
Dimensions is a highly recognized and awarded studio that is also a safe place for kids. They offer instruction from people of excellent character with extensive experience and training. The leadership really cares and focuses on placing the kids where they need to be to develop correctly as dancers and people.
We have been dancing at this studio for 10 years now and we have no plans to stop. I love that my 4 kids can each pick a class that we love and I can work it into a schedule that I love. The staff and instructors are amazing and each year I see growth in my kiddos.
We absolutely love Dimensions!! My daughter is going on her 5th year of dance there, we have never had anything but a positive experience. The front desk staff is always very friendly and remembers us all by name.
Adult ballet at Dimensions School of Dance
Dimensions School of Dance 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 Dimensions School of Dance
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.
