From the reviews

I couldn’t be happier that we found Kick 4 years ago. My daughter loves all the teachers there and has made such incredible friends with so many of the girls there both older and younger. It truly is like a family. They have so many options for classes including vocal lessons and musical theater.

★★★★★ — Joanna, Feb 2020

Kick Dance is a very special studio and truly provides “more than just great dancing” for children of all ages. This woman-owned and women-run studio provides so much to our community and my 6 year-old daughter, who is a student there.

★★★★★ — Michele, Dec 2021

We love Kick!! I have three daughters who are all on different levels and Kick has classes that appeal to each one. Vanessa, the owner, just gets it -- she is patient, flexible, passionate and organized. My girls are having fun, building skills and bolstering their self-confidence at Kick.

★★★★★ — Tori, Aug 2014

Kick is the place to DANCE!!! Both of my girls started at Kick at age 3 and my oldest has now been dancing for 6 years. The dance teachers are amazing - so supportive and fun. Their enthusiasm for dance is contagious. You always feel like you get individual attention from the owner, Vanessa Berry.

Your first ballet class at Kick Dance Studios

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
