From the reviews

We have been with Meraki for four months. The instructors are incredible: extremely friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. In the short amount of time my daughter has been there, she has grown incredibly in her dancing. The other dancers and moms have been welcoming.

★★★★★ — Tara, Dec 2023

We absolutely adore Keri and Meraki Dance Academy! Both of our girls have danced with MDA and our youngest has been part of Company for the last couple years. Keri (owner) and Karly (manager) make every one feel like family and make sure all dancers are safe and cared for.

★★★★★ — Strange, Dec 2023

Where to start....this dance studio has been such a blessing to my daughter and our family!! We had experienced 2 other studios before finding Pointe of Grace and I'm soooo thrilled we walked through the door of this studio....it has changed how my daughter feels about dancing!

★★★★★ — Camden, Jan 2017

We started last year after my daughter received lessons from a family member for Christmas and we are so lucky to have found this gem. You won't find an owner and her team that care more about their students and quality of program they put out.

Your first ballet class at Meraki Dance Academy

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.
