From the reviews

The best place ever! I completely recommend it. Teachers are so nice and helpful and it makes dance a great experience!

★★★★★ — Cameron, Mar 2019

Footloose dance studio is the best in the area. All the teachers take pride in their students and make the effort for each and everyone to feel they are important. Safety for their students is number one, which has a parent makes you feel assured your child is in good hands.

★★★★★ — Carol, Jul 2026

I appreciate Footloose looking for the safety of their students. Someone hanging around the studio for extended amounts of time and not willing to say why she is there is pretty shady. Safety first, strangers feelings last. Thank you Footloose!!!!

★★★★★ — Sharon, Dec 2025

Footloose School of Dance provides not only an outstanding dance education but also that gives the dancers confidence and positivity in family friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this studio.

Your first ballet class at Footloose School of Dance

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
