From the reviews

I started taking my daughter to Diversion Dance Collective a few months before she turned 3, starting with the Mommy and Me classes. It was the perfect way to ease her into the class environment and help her learn how to follow directions. From there, she seamlessly transitioned into the Petit Fit class.

Great communication and very helpful to a new dance mom! I reached out through the website and quickly got a response to set up my trial class. I also received reminders the day of the class to make sure I didn't forget! My daughter enjoyed the class and couldn't wait to get her purple dress.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Feb 2023

Attending my son’s hip hop class has been an absolute delight. The dance instructor exudes passion and dedication in every session, creating an energetic and positive learning environment. Her enthusiasm for dance is truly infectious, inspiring students to give their best at every turn.

★★★★★ — Wenjuan, Sep 2023

If you are interested in your kids dancing 🕺💃🏻, this is the place. Miss Lisa Barry is a fantastic teacher, friend, encourager, role model, etc.; someone I’m happy to entrust with my daughter. I’m so glad we decided to follow her as she opened her own studio last fall.

Your first ballet class at Diversion Dance Collective

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.
