From the reviews
My daughter will be starting her 9th year at Joy School of Dance this year and my son his second. Miss Sharon and her staff make the dance experience fun and enjoyable.
Joy School of Dance did an amazing job dealing with quarantine and restrictions while still allowing my daughter to do what she loves with Zoom classes and our first ever virtual recital. My daughter even helped out with the class she had been student teaching.
Our daughter really enjoyed her first year at Joy School of Dance. The staff is super friendly, communication is great, and all payments and announcements are managed on an easy to use website.
My daughter has been taking dance here for 7 years. We love the teachers and she has grown in many ways as a result of her training at this dance school.
Your first ballet class at Joy 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.
