From the reviews
I have been taking classes at Excel Dance Studio for the last 7 months and it’s been the best studio I’ve ever danced at! I’m a returning adult dancer and the adult ballet class offers an amazing opportunity to learn and grow, as well as exercise.
This is a wonderful dance studio. Before coming here my daughter tried a few others in the Davis County area for ballet, but neither one of us was pleased with them. Excel Dance has a strong focus on technique. I can see my daughters progress over the last two years.
My daughters have been attending this dance studio for about 6 months. I have enjoyed this studio very much. They know the technique of dance and are great at teaching kids of all ages. They keep their dances and costumes appropriate. I also like that this studio is non-competitive.
My daughter has been taking ballet and tumbling here for 7 years and my son has been taking boys hip hop for over a year. We love this studio. The teachers and atmosphere are great. The kids have fun. We love this studio and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dance studio for their children.
Adult ballet at Excel Dance Academy
Excel Dance Academy 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 Excel 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.
