From the reviews
I’ve been dancing at Incite for that past 3 years and I’m confident it will always have a special place. The teachers are amazing at both dance and helping you grow as a person. Also, all the people are sosososo nice and friendly. I have made lifelong friends through Incite.
Our daughter has been attending dance classes here for about two years and she loves it! The breadth of classes available (and their awesome policy for a minimal fee to try a class) has offered her the opportunity to try so many new things and she has discovered a love for dance which had been lurking in the…
Fabulous new dance studio run by the dynamic duo of Kaitlin and Kayla. Kaitlin is an AMAZING dance teacher and choreographer. Her classes are exciting, motivating and educational.
I am so grateful as a parent to have found this dance studio. The personal attention the owners and instructors offer, the quality instruction, as well as the positive atmosphere of the studio is the perfect combination to allow children to thrive.
Adult ballet at Incite Dance Center
Incite Dance Center runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Incite 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.
