From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing at DSPA since it opened. The school is great and the programs offered are amazing. DSPA offers diverse dance classes that are taught by professional dancers. My daughter has taken Irish, African, Modern, and Ballet. She has loved all of them. Our entire experience has been wonderful.
We have taken our daughter to NYAB & Kerry's, but the instruction at Dutchess School of Performing Arts is far and away the best. Our daughter prefers classical ballet and this is the place for that in town.
Great emphasis on learning fundamentals in a welcoming, friendly environment. We've been enrolled for 3 yrs. and have started off on the right foot for technique with manageable class sizes.
We're very happy with the DSPA studio, the instructors are talented, knowledgeable and professional and a pleasure to deal with.
Your first ballet class at Dutchess School Of Performing Arts
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.
