From the reviews

Gotta Dance truly employs the psychology of dance. Gotta Dance educators facilitate confidence and passion in their dancers. The opportunities for the dances are countless. Our daughter was a part of the Nutcracker Ensemble this year for the first time and it was a beautiful and powerful experience.

★★★★★ — Maureen, Dec 2019

Both of my daughters dance here and not only are the teachers excellent and they are learning a lot but the recitals are like broadway shows and it is so well run with clear communication. They think of all of the details when it comes to everything they do. We love Gotta Dance

★★★★★ — Sara, Dec 2019

My daughters have been dancing at Gotta Dance for years. They have been involved in many of the various performance groups as well as weekly classes. We love it!

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.

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.
