From the reviews
Opened in 1929, Bernice's Starrstep Dance Studio is the oldest dance studio in Pensacola. Constantly renovating and evolving with time, the Starrstep staff works hard to not only provide the best possible training for students, but also strives to make the dancing experience fun and enjoyable.
Thank you Bernice's Starrstep Dance Studio for the memories and the future! You have been an asset and a fixture in our community for decades. I danced as a child, but came back this year as an adult. Today was recital day, and although I was nervous, I've never felt more alive!
My child has went here for about 10 years and it has been an amazing experience. It's a dance studio in a family environment. The way that they made it through the pandemic and didn't miss a beat is why I highly recommend them.
Used to go here years ago when I was 5 or 6 years old and I did ballet and tap there. It was a great experience there
Your first ballet class at La Rita's 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.
