From the reviews

My daughter has been dancing at Indiana Dance Company for three years and we love it there. She’s made so many amazing friends and really loves the teachers. She’s grown so much in both dance technique but also in confidence.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jul 2025

My youngest daughter is in her 9th year dancing with IDC (Indiana Dance Company), and it is hands-down the best dance studio we've ever been with. The instructors work with each student individually as well as from a team aspect, and do everything possible to showcase each student as much as possible at his/her level,…

★★★★★ — Holly, Nov 2018

We moved last year and set up a tour with Indiana Dance Company (IDC) to figure out where our new dance home will be. Since we were leaving our old studio of 7 years, we had ALL the feels that day. Stephanie, one of the owners, gave us a tour and met with us and took time to answer all our questions!

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jul 2025

Indiana dance company is amazing! We have been with them for 4 years now, rec classes only at first but then transitioned into competition team! I cannot say enough great things about them.

Your first ballet class at Indiana Dance Company

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
