From the reviews
Heart and Sole Dance Center has a wide variety of classes to choose from each for experienced to beginners from three years old to teen! Ms. Liza is a very experienced instructor, who teaches the fundamentals to dancing for both recreation and competition levels.
I am a dancer at this studio and I have been for 6 years and I have never had a better studio experience than at Heart and Sole. The staff always support the students growth and development through their dance journeys. Students always support each other through everything creating the perfect dance family!
This is my daughters fifth season with Heart & Sole Dance Center. She absolutely loves it here! We left one of the larger dance studios in Charlotte County due to "getting lost in the crowd". The personal attention each dancer receives goes above and beyond any duty the instructor has.
Company is very professional and encouraging to all three of our children's development as dancers. The dance instructor is very nurturing to their needs and coaches professionally with good discipline, motivation, and reward for hard work and dedication.
Adult ballet at Heart & Sole Dance Center
Heart & Sole Dance Center 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 Heart & Sole Dance Center
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.
