From the reviews
We have loved and been a part of DDMA for 4 years now. This is the 3rd dance studio we have tried. Duval has both very talented teachers and it is a very well run business. That is hard to find in a studio from what I have seen. I really appreciate both of those things as a mom.
Our daughters have been dancing at Duval for over 11 years, each beginning when they were just 2 years old. For them, Duval has been a second home, a place where they have made wonderful friends, have learned from the best teachers, and have grown in technique, confidence, and self-expression.
We just finished our trial class with my 5yr old daughter, and I was so pleased with the experience! It was a welcoming environment, where there is obviously a passion for dance. It seemed very professional, while also having a fun feel. We got there early, so saw classes arriving and leaving.
My daughter absolutely loves her dance classes at Duval! The teachers are wonderful — so encouraging and patient — and she’s gained so much confidence since starting. She looks forward to every class and has made such great friends here.
Your first ballet class at Duval Dance and Music Academy
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.
