From the reviews
I have been dancing here myself for 5 years and it has been a great experience. All of the teachers are very kind and helpful. Their way of coaching students is great. The dances they come up with are amazing and I love dancing here.
East Coast is a wonderful dance studio. The teachers are so motivating and invest in each child and the outcome is amazing teamwork. My daughter is really enjoying dance!
i’ve been a dancer here for 11 years, and i really couldn’t ask for a better studio. every staff member has the kindest heart, but still knows just how to raise amazing dancers. the little girls that start dancing are always nervous, but staff and assistants are there to comfort them.
My daughter has been going to ECDC for over 3 years and it has been such a positive experience! The teachers are kind, supportive and very reassuring. My daughter was very nervous, especially her first year, and they were nothing but encouraging.
Your first ballet class at East Coast Dance Center
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.
