From the reviews
My daughter is starting her 5th year of classes at EJDC and loves this studio! The teachers meet the kids where they are at with skill and technique but also give them stretch goals. The classes are right sized and these teacher REALLY care about each of their students :-).
My daughter started at EJDC recently and is loving it! She is eager to go every single week! Ms.Emily keeps her engaged and moving!
My daughter Greta has been dancing at Emily Jane Dance Center, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we walked in, the studio felt welcoming, organized, and focused on helping every child shine. The teachers are not only talented and professional, but they also truly care about the kids.
My 5-year old daughter started taking pre-ballet & pre-tap in Sept. 2024 and quickly fell in love with it and her instructor, Ms. Kelsie. I don’t have any comparison, but I feel like the class sizes are perfect and the price is affordable (…and was cheaper than what I had prepared myself for 🤣).
Your first ballet class at Emily Jane 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.
