From the reviews
My experience was with dance instruction for my daughter and myself. This is a top notch school for aspiring professional dancers or just people who love to dance. Great for kids and adults alike. The owners are talented dancers and excellent teachers.
I have been a part of the DVS family for over twenty years. Watching them create beauty on stage year in and year out. I have watched the dancers they train go from their three year old class to the Met, Broadway and beyond. Everyone on the team are true professionals and their training is second to none.
My daughter recently did ballet session and completed her first recital. We love that recital was held right in Fairfield. Everything was well organized, professional and friendly staff! Will be doing dance camp this summer and fall session. Highly recommended this dance center!
I have been at d’valda for 11 years I’m am in their performance group it is so fun I definitely recommend coming here they have a really good environment for dancers and everyone is so good at the studio
Adult ballet at D'Valda & Sirico Dance and Music Centre
D'Valda & Sirico Dance and Music Centre 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 D'Valda & Sirico Dance and Music Centre
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.
