From the reviews

We absolutely love Gift of Dance Studio. My daughter refers to the studio as her "happy place." The spirit of family is amazing and the joy that dancing brings everyone in the studio is obvious. Ms. Keila has done SUCH a great job making sure that everyone stays safe throughout Covid and still has fun at dance.

★★★★★ — Brannon, Nov 2020

I danced here at Gift of Dance since kindergarten! I recently just graduated high school. I can truly say that they do a great job at building the dancers up but not only in dance but also in our everyday life! My dance range is very large because of all the many genres they offer that only expands over the years!

★★★★★ — Summer, Aug 2020

The Gift of Dance Studio exceeded my expectations for virtual dance during the pandemic! The owner and lyrical dance instructor were very attentive to my daughters and made them feel welcomed despite them attending classes virtually.

★★★★★ — Chavonda, Sep 2021

If you are looking for a dance studio to enroll your child or yourself in, I highly recommend Gift of Dance Studio! I danced there for 10 years and absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. The instructors are super kind, professional, and create special bonds with all of the students that dance there.

Your first ballet class at Gift of Dance Studio - McDonough

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.
