From the reviews

I love Linda Dobbins Dance! I have been coming here for 8 years now and I could not imagine dancing anywhere else. Mrs. Linda has been an amazing mentor and teacher to myself and others in the studio. The staff and facility are incredible and LDD offers such a wide range of styles and levels for everyone.

The best dance studio in Birmingham! Mrs. Linda truly cares about every one of her students and works so hard to help them succeed. I danced there for 4 years and they have such a great community of the sweetest girls and teachers. Highly highly recommend!!

Best Dance Studio!!! I danced at LDD for many many years and would not be the person I am today without this studio. I highly suggest LDD for any girl or boy who loves to dance and wants to be in a family environment where you not only acquire and perfect your dancing skills but also learn to be a leader in the…

★★★★★ — Monicka, Apr 2019

I have had the pleasure of working with the owners for years when they come to Los Angeles with their students. This company is top notch. I wish growing up as a dancer I would have been able to study here. Such a professional studio with such kind and organized owners.

Your first ballet class at LINDA DOBBINS 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.

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.
