i was never good at dance, but dancing here taught me a lot. the teachers are all so helpful & willing to go out of their way to help you, definitely would go back!
Teachers and staff are wonderful! My daughter loves being a dancer here and has grown in confidence not only in dance but in life itself.
As a family that recently moved to the Coast from New Orleans, we couldn’t be happier with our experience at this studio. From day one, we felt welcomed and part of the dance family. The instructors are talented, supportive, and truly care about their dancers. The front office is organized and informative.
If you want the very best for your child- be it dance, attitude, self confidence, self worth, the meaning of team, never giving up on yourself or others, values and integrity, and the sheer peace of mind in knowing you gave your child memories and lasting friendships that will never be forgotten....
Your first ballet class at Donna's Visual & Performing Arts Center
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.
