From the reviews
Kerry's Dance Center was recommended to my family fifteen years ago by many family friends who had nothing but good things to say; I have been dancing with the studio ever since. Throughout my time here, KDC has become my second home and the teachers and other dancers have become family.
I have nothing but good things to say about the 14 year experience I had with this studio. June, 2016 I had to say a very sad goodbye as I entered my first year of college in the Fall. KDC is a studio that not only teaches you how to be a strong, independent, passionate dancer, but it teaches you how to love.
I have danced at Kerry's for 14 years! They are like a second home. They are so kind, humble, and caring. They help students grow not only in dance but as well in the outside world. The teachers are really great and are there to help you with anything.
I first visited KDC as a guest of a friend when I was 11 and immediately returned the next week to join classes. I LOVED my time at Kerry's and truly discovered my passion for dance. If I hadn't moved thousands of miles away, I would be back even years later.
Your first ballet class at Kerry's Dance Center
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.
