From the reviews

My daughter took classes and danced for Jazz, Hip Hop and Ballet at Harbor Dance for just over 4 years, and I love the staff, the instructors and the kids at Harbor Dance. There are some great adult classes as well! The focus is on the love of dance, and balancing great skill with great teamwork.

This is the best dance school you can find! We travelled from Poulsbo to Gig Harbor because the school is more than worth the drive. Wonderful teachers and office staff. My daughter is sad she missed out for their first Nutcracker this year from family illness. We will miss this studio greatly when we move this spring.

Your first ballet class at Harbor 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.
