From the reviews
My 6year old and 9 year old Daughters have been attending illusions since they were toddlers. I have watched them learn, grow, and thrive as part of the illusions Dance family. I believe that Dance teaches our girls so much more than dancing.
My daughter has been dancing at Illusions for over 10 years. It’s her second home, and dance family! She loves working with Miss Lauren and Kevin! They’re kind, caring, and they take the time to help each dancer grow and reach their full potential! Miss Lauren is an expert in her field!
Our Illusions journey started 6 years ago after switching from a previous studio. My girls have literally grown up here and have learned so much! It truly is a dance family and I trust the owners/teachers with my girls. In addition to dance, they learn confidence, team building, patience and strategy.
My daughter has been dancing at Illusions Academy of Dance for over 10 years. Miss Lauren, Kevin and the entire staff are kind, caring, and compassionate. She loves going to dance everyday and it is her home away from home. We are so blessed that we are a part of the Illusions Dance Family!
Your first ballet class at Illusions Academy 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.
