From the reviews
When we first walked into Kick It Up Dance Studio, we felt welcomed by everyone there. The staff, dance parents and students positive energy we knew we had found something special. The energy is electric, the environment is welcoming, and the passion from every dance teacher, dancer, and staff member was so positive.
Kick It Up is truly the best around. The teachers and staff have worked so hard to make sure every child feels comfortable, learns, and is having fun. The magic they have worked with my daughter is everything a mom would want.
Can't believe I haven't reviewed my home away from home yet! My older daughters both dance here and we are grateful for all the amazing opportunities to grow and work, experience and play, connect and enjoy the journey of dance and fitness for the entire family.
Our experience at Kick it Up dance studio has been such a joy. The teachers cultivate an encouraging and welcoming environment where dancers thrive and support one another. My daughter has progressed so much in her years at Kick it Up. Her confidence and passion for dance grows each year.
Your first ballet class at Kick It Up 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.
