From the reviews

After experiencing a very disappointing year at another local dance company (I am choosing to not name publicly) we decided to try Division Street Dance. This is our daughters 7th year of dance and the other company drastically affected her technical skills and enjoyment. We are SO happy with our choice to come to DSD.

My daughter, Michaella, went to Division street dance for one year, at age three. It was a fabulous experience for all of us. She loved going and Miss Emily was so kind and sweet to the kids.

★★★★★ — Ashley, May 2025

We have been dancing with Emily since she opened Division Street Dance. Communication has always been great. The studio has grown so much over the years. My daughter loves the musical theater class and my son loves his hip hop class.

Your first ballet class at Division Street 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.

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.
