From the reviews

Our experience has been nothing, but awesome! Miss Vickie is a well educated/ trained dance instructor who wants nothing but the best for your child. My daughter can't wait for fall classes to start.

★★★★★ — Tracey, Aug 2019

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Kidz Gym & Dance! We are entering our third dance year this fall. The fairytale ballet classes are a wonderful introduction to dance and engage the kids beautifully. My daughter will often do the dances at home that they do weekly in class for FUN!

★★★★★ — Anne, Jul 2023

My three-year-old takes ballet and tap at Kidz Gym and Dance, and our family loves the whole experience! As a former dancer, the studio checks off all the boxes I would hope to have for my daughters dance education and more.

★★★★★ — Megan, Aug 2022

My 2 daughters dance at Kidz Gym & Dance and we absolutely love it there. We like the smaller class sizes and non competitive atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The director and other teachers clearly love dancing as it shows in their classes.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Aug 2021

Your first ballet class at Kidz Gym & Dance/River Ballet Co.

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.
