From the reviews
At Impact Dance in Meridian, my nieces have found their passion. With a plethora of styles to choose from—jazz, lyrical, ballet, pointe, hip hop, musical theater, contemporary, modern, and acro—they’re exploring and excelling.
My 5 year old started dancing there a year ago. We came from a different studio. To see the growth my daughter made in a year is remarkable. It is a warm, kind environment that fosters a culture of loving to dance. The teachers are great!
Impact Dance Center is truly a great place for kids. You won't find another studio in the valley that truly, deeply, and passionately cares about each of their students and cheers for their every success and supports their growth.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with enthusiasm and encouragement. The instructors are incredibly skilled and supportive, catering to dancers of all levels. The studio itself is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything you need for an amazing dance session.
Adult ballet at Impact Dance Center
Impact 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 Impact 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.
