From the reviews
I was part of the Gotta Dance family for about 14 years. Now, on my way to earn a Masters degree I can still say the days and nights spent here are some of the best memories I have. The staff are so genuinely positive and motivating and help you feel confident and beautiful, which can be hard for a young person.
This is my twins 2nd year of dance and they really love it!!! I was alittle skeptical last year if they would enjoy dancing but after my family and I attended their 1st Dance Recital I am pleased to say all the practicing,hard-work,& effort it paid off so they wanted to give dance another chance...
Multiple award winning studio for a reason. Not only do the children have fun learning new dance moves and getting a little workout, but the recitals and routines make it fun for the parents as well. I wouldn't bring my daughters to any other school.
My daughter went for a friends birthday party and loves it..now I registered her to start hip hop classes.
Your first ballet class at Gotta 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.
