I danced at Metro for 2 years(1 year in recreational and 1 in Competition), and the only reason I left was because my family and I moved 2 1/2 hours away. I absolutely love Metro and it's dance family as well as the amazing teachers I had and the supportive classmates that I love and miss so. Hope all is well!

My son has been a Metro dancer for 8 years now and couldn't be happier! He loves to dance and his teachers have always made sure that he's working hard to develop to his own potential but they also make sure he's having fun. We have always felt welcome and that that's where we belong.
We are in our first year at Metro Dance and we love it. The instructor (Danica) is wonderful and so great with the kids. We could not have gotten a better dance teacher! Looking forward to many more years here!
Your first ballet class at Metro Dance Center
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.
