From the reviews
My kids have enjoyed Irby dance for several years now. We really love the positive atmosphere! The teachers are so invested in each and every kid in class. We appreciate the communication also!
We love Irby! I drive my daughter an hour to get to this dance studio every week because of the quality instruction (the teachers are adults and very talented). The students are very nice and welcoming to new students, even shy ones like mine! The studio is clean and all correspondence is timely and well organized.
Mattingly has been dancing at Irby since the age of 3. She is now 13 and her love of dance continues to grow. From tiny tutus to pointe shoes... our Irby experience has been phenomenal. I can’t say enough about the teachers she has been so fortunate to learn from.
We've been going to Irby for three years, this will be our fourth, and we absolutely love it. The environment, the staff, the friendliness of everyone you meet, and the ability to watch your children as they are there is great! We are looking forward to the new building and another great year of dance!
Your first ballet class at Irby Dance Studio Searcy
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.
