From the reviews
I can't say enough wonderful things about Just For Kicks. I danced there as a child, and it is now such a joy to watch both of my daughters experience the same love of Just For Kicks as I did! The instructors are patient, positive, and truly passionate about what they do.
For the past six years, my daughter has been enrolled in various dance programs with JFK. Year after year, my husband and I have witnessed a transformation in our daughter; beginning as a shy toddler, into a confident, talented dancer.
My daughter has been dancing at Just for Kicks for the past nine years, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. The teachers are genuinely loving, patient, and invested in every dancer’s growth. What I love most is the studio’s environment that’s all about fun, confidence, and joy.
We have been apart of the Just for Kicks family since my daughter was 5 years old and now she’s in her senior year. The thought of not having these wonderful people in our lives anymore is so sad. They have loved and nurtured our daughter and turned her into a beautiful dancer.
Your first ballet class at Just For Kicks 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.
