From the reviews

Miss Bri is the definition of what it means to be an amazing dance teacher and now studio owner! She invests deeply into her dancers lives and talents and has choreographed some incredible works. Could not recommend more!

★★★★★ — Rebecca, May 2022

Lucky Star offers more than the high-quality instruction that dancers and families should expect from a studio; in our experience, the environment is entirely unique in its focus on individualized goals and providing an environment where dancers can feel confident and safe working toward those goals.

★★★★★ — Jodie, Sep 2023

Both of my daughters are part of the Lucky Star family. Students are valued as individuals and the curriculum is not one size fits all. The studio welcomes all dancers and embraces their unique goals and strengths. My girls can be their true selves at the studio and have made lifelong friends!

★★★★★ — Heather, Sep 2023

Ms Bri is an amazing coach. She is very supportive of all her dancers and what their goals are. She also encourages them to try new things and to believe in themselves.

Your first ballet class at Lucky Star Dance Company

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.
