From the reviews
I’ve been dancing at this studio for twelve years, and I truly can’t imagine my life without it. From the moment I walked in as a little kid to now, this place has been a second home. The instructors are not only incredibly talented but genuinely supportive and passionate about what they do.
I just love Kiptom Dance Center! The small, family like community, age appropriate costumes, and the best priced dance studio in town! My children have danced here for almost 10 years and it's been such an integral part of their childhoods.
It is more personal at Kiptom. Natalie enjoys going and is 9 years old. She started at 3 and then after Covid had to leave for 2 seasons, but has been back now going into her 3rd year. She loves her classes and teachers! She is thinking about adding tap but still do jazz and hip hop!
Excellent School... The instructors are very supportive and go above and beyond encouraging each child to reach their full potential and having fun while doing it....My granddaughter has blossomed since joining Kiptom!!
Adult ballet at Kiptom Dance Center, LLC
Kiptom Dance Center, LLC runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Kiptom Dance Center, LLC
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.
