From the reviews
My daughter loved coming here! She loved the Creative Movement class and Tap! Miss Kristen and Miss Julie are amazing instructors and worked with my daughter beautifully.
This is my third time enrolling my daughter in dance here. I really have liked Kristen and Krystal! I feel the kids are loved, the recitals are ran well, and my daughter enjoys coming. I have been happy with my experience so far and plan to continue here for years to come.
Kristen runs a wonderful program for dancers looking to take classes in a non-competitive environment! Her studio space is beautiful and you really couldn't ask for a nicer dance teacher!
This is a great place for kids to learn dance in a non-stressful environment while also learning proper dance technique. Kristen is so kind to her students.
Adult ballet at Discovery Dance School
Discovery Dance School 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 Discovery Dance School
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.
