From the reviews
I love this dance studio. My daughter has been coming here since 2021 and has taken a variety of classes from little jazz to intermediate hip hop. I've taken advantage of adult fitness classes which is something I would have never done had the staff and instructors not been so inclusive and supportive.
My daughter has been dancing with dimensions for almost 10 years. They have 2 locations depending on class you take and time of class. Everyone is so friendly and professional. So many different dances to choose from and they even have different adult workout and dance classes.
Fantastic! Great studio. Great location. Instructors are friendly, knowledgeable. Clean and immaculate. Highly recommend!
Adult ballet at Dimensions School of Dance (Westside)
Dimensions School of Dance (Westside) 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 (Westside)
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.
