From the reviews
We have been with Gallery Ballet & Tap for over 8 years. Mrs. Castle has shown tremendous support and commitment to not only my family, but all her dancers. I have watched many of these young people grow up together, learning grace, discipline, commitment to something bigger than themselves, deep friendships- how to…
We love gallery ballet and tap! Love the teachers and the community. Everyone is supportive of each other, and you can make lifelong friends! There are all sorts of different dance types to try from, all with amazing teachers who will help you to be the best dancer you can be!
I have been dancing here for 10 years and have LOVED it! There are many different dance classes and I have tried most of them. I would give this place 5 stars any day. If you are looking for a dance studio, this is one of the best. I love spending time here.
I love this place!! I always feel so welcome and I have made so many friends that I wouldn’t have known unless I danced. If you need a dance studio this is place!
Your first ballet class at Gallery Ballet and Tap
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.
