From the reviews
I love this studio! I grew up dancing here and now I have a 3 yr old daughter who goes here. It is a wonderful school and Mrs. Cindi is the best! She is so kind and genuinely loves her students. I love this particular studio because the emphasis is on dancing.
I cannot express how much I LOVE Gotta Dance and the amazing teachers and community there. If you want to do something good for your kid, have them join a dance class here!
I danced here for 14+ years! Best studio ever. I could never put into words what this studio means to me and how much I learned here. The teachers are phenomenal and care about each student! Absolutely would recommend.

Adult ballet at Gotta Dance
Gotta Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
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.
