From the reviews
Even during Covid-19 they are open and staying safe. This is a wonderful, supportive, excellent dance studio. They are non-competitve, and have one dance recital a year. They have "In House" teams that also provide additional performance opportunities.
DANCE FLOOR MAGNIFICENT...NICE AND BIG. BRENDA GREAT. I CALLED AHEAD AND SHE EVEN PLAYED TWO QUICKSTEPS AND VWALTZ FOR ME. GROUP LESSON: C grade Hard to do a group lesson before a social dance. I counted nearly 40 people in lesson. Couldn't see. Couldn't hear. Start skipping group lesson OR just teach basic step.
Took dance classes with my wife. It was excellent! !! Staff are experienced, very nice to be around and accommodating. If this was helpful, please Like review!
Ist time dancer. Everyone was so helpful and was delighted to have danced the night away even though I was a beginner level dancer. I am going again!
Adult ballet at DNE School of Dance
DNE 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 DNE 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.
