From the reviews
We moved to Godfrey from the KC area! We took our time to research local dance studios for my daughter to continue dancing competitively. After attending the JBSD summer dance recital, my daughter and I both knew this was the perfect studio for us.
I have worked with this studio for the past 6 years and am continually impressed with their commitment to excellence and compassion for their students. They are accepting and loving, yet committed to making fine dancers out of all who enter their doors.
My daughter’s have danced here for years, we have tried other places and was not satisfied with the way my daughter’s was treated. The staff and owner love our kids as their own. My girls have said they will never leave this dance studio…. They would quit if they was made to go somewhere else!
The BEST of the best! My daughters have danced for this studio for over 12 years! They are treated like family as is my son who doesn’t even dance for the company! The owner is passionate and caring and she has high expectations!
Your first ballet class at Jennifer Bishop's School 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.
