From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing here for over 11 years and we couldn't be happier! She has had so many experiences that have helped shaped the young woman she is today. HKSD is a family, a sisterhood, and a second home for us.
This will be our third year at HKSD. Both of my girls love going to dance each week. The teachers/assistants/staff are amazing. As a former dancer, I really appreciate how much my girls are learning to love something that meant so much to me growing up. The communication on everything is phenomenal.

I love HKSD so so much. I have gone there since I was 1 years old and have now been dancing for 12 years. They are an amazing family and I love all the teachers and staff. I have made so many memories their and can't wait to make more. My friendships that I have made there are awesome and are going to last forever.
Your first ballet class at Heidi Knight School of 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.
