From the reviews
Best Studio around! It has become our second home and have gained a family! My daughter has grown so much over the past year. I would not go anywhere else, we have had nothing but a positive experience.
I love this space so much! This studio gave me the best four years of my life. I will forever call this my home with the best family out there. Thanks to the owner and all of the teachers here I have grown into someone I would’ve never become elsewhere.
Such a positive environment for recreational and competitive dancers! My kids grew so much in all styles of dance, flexibility, and tumbling in a very short time. Highly recommend this studio!
We absolutely love the family environment, as well as the professionalisms of all the teachers. Lindsay Stumpo, owner, takes the outmost care of each and every student. She brings out the talent inside each and everyone
Your first ballet class at Escape Dance 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.
