From the reviews
Our family has been deeply blessed by our 6 years with Makers Ekklesia! We are filled with joy and gratitude! From the studio's clear and compelling vision, beautiful and classy costumes for recitals, the worship and inspiring music, patient and loving teachers/staff -- all blend together to create a nurturing…
I wanted to wait a year to make a true review of this establishment and its staff to be sure of how I truly feel about this place. My daughter just completed her first year of preschool ballet here at Makers, and it has been nothing short of extraordinary.
This is our 5th year at Makers and my oldest daughter enjoys it so much! Ms. Jen might be her favorite 😉 but she has had so many wonderful teachers here throughout the years. She has tried a variety of classes and loves them all! Ms. Jen is very caring and takes the time to listen and address any concerns you may have.
We love Jen and Makers Dance so much! It’s an amazing studio. The teachers are so kind, the dances are choreographed beautifully, and my kids have met the sweetest friends. Also, the shows are next level incredible!
Your first ballet class at Makers Ekklesia Dance Collective
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.
