From the reviews
We started at Florida Dance Workshop in February last year and we couldn’t be happier! My daughters love for dance and their skills have grown so much, I love seeing them so happy being in their element! The teachers are so encouraging and motivating, giving positive feedback and constructive corrections.
The Florida Dance Workshop is an incredible way to get fit and challenge yourself both physically and mentally. Their stunning studio is always clean and provides students with everything they need and more to train in this phenomenal art form.
FDW is a fun professional studio with talented instructors! They have over 30 years experience in the community. Not only did I dance there growing up but my daughter started dancing there at 3 years old. She has grown into a beautiful young dancer and I can’t wait to keep watching her grow.
We love FDW! My daughter started dancing here at 3 years old and is growing into such a beautiful young lady not only in dance, but in life thanks in part to the amazing teachers at this studio. They are truly kind, caring and the kids absolutely love them all!
Your first ballet class at Florida Dance Workshop
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.
