From the reviews
I am a recent graduate of Dance Dreamworks and I couldn't be more happy with my experience. I started dancing at Dance Dreamworks about 3 years ago after dancing at a larger studio for 13 years.
Amanda and Emily of Dance Dreamworks in Kingston are dedicated individuals, who strive to offer the best studio in the area. They take great care in constructing many classes and levels so every student will fit in and excel to the very best of their abilities.
I hadn’t been to a dance studio since I was a child. I recently took a few drop-in Barre classes at Dance Dreamworks and was very impressed. As an adult beginner, they welcomed me with open arms. I was introduced to the frequent dancers and felt really comfortable.
Dance Dreamworks works very hard to ensure that all of their students are given the best opportunity to grow and become proficient in the art of dance. Amanda and Emily who run the studio offer so many classes and varieties of dance.
Adult ballet at Dreamworks Performing Arts Center (DPAC)
Dreamworks Performing Arts Center (DPAC) 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 Dreamworks Performing Arts Center (DPAC)
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.
