From the reviews
Legacy School of Dance has truly become a second home for our family. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear this wasn’t just a dance studio—it’s a place where young dancers are inspired, challenged, and celebrated.
My daughter has been part of this dance school since she was 2 years old, shes now 7 !! And we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience shes had for the past 5 years. The teachers are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL ! Very supportive, and TALENTED.
Amazing school. I am so happy that my granddaughter dances there. Miss Chrissy and the rest of the staff care about each dancer regardless of their dance ability. My granddaughter is thrilled for the opportunity to dance on the competition teams and loves every minute of her time there.
We love Legacy School Of Dance. Just finished our 6th year with them and they are the absolute BEST! The dance teachers are so talented and friendly. It’s not just a dance studio it’s a dance family! 💜💜 The recitals are very entertaining and an amazing show! The dancers are all so talented. Beautiful costumes too!
Your first ballet class at Legacy School of Dance
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.
