From the reviews
I transitioned my kids to this studio over a year ago from another local studio. We are so fortunate to have access to the quality dance and performing arts training Taylor Dance provides. No other studio in the area can compare.
Best dance studio in the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area. Expensive. Great instructors who are also current performers as well, not the case at other facilities. Opportunity to perform in multiple shows, albeit for large fees. More traditional focused, not big on hip hop, tumbling, cheer, etc.
I love everything about the studio. Everyone is so nice and supportive. It is such a great place to dance!
Superb people. Great pre-professional dance instruction from kind people who really care about the students and providing them with instruction and experience to be successful if they choose to pursue dance professionally. The shows they produce are top notch.
Your first ballet class at Gary Taylor 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.
