From the reviews
Jorday Rivera's Dance Studio has done so much for me ever since I joined. Not only have they taught me to dance, they also have made my love for dance even greater. The teachers are phenomenal. They have taught me so many new skills and technique in less than a year.
Joining the Jorday Dance School has been one of the best decisions I've made . I take all of the belly dance classes and can honestly say that I feel like part of a dance family. All the dance instructors are super talented and want to see their students grow.
This place is amazing in every sense! Looking for a place was a bit frustrating at first, but I hit jackpot with this studio. The staff (Jorday and everyone else) are very talented and super nice, and the students are a bunch of fun.
Jorday Rivera's Dance Studio has really become a family. Our daughter started when she was 4 years old and has grown to be a tremendous dancer. This is her 5th year and we are excited to see her continue to develop.
Your first ballet class at Jorday Rivera's Dance Studio
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.
