From the reviews

I've been with DPDC for four or five years now, and their leadership and teachers are absolutely first class. It really amazes me how much they love what they do, the passion for dance and community that they share with all their dancers. It's a first-class dance company!

Miss Jessica and the entire DPDC staff are AMAZING!! You will not find a more dedicated, organized studio owner who always gives more than 100% to the kids. DPDC has impeccable training, and their littles program is unmatched!

Your first ballet class at Dynamic Perception Dance Company

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
