From the reviews
We cannot say enough wonderful things about this dance studio! The teachers have an incredible gift for working with toddlers, especially those spirited little ones who are still learning how to manage big emotions and challenging moments.
Michele and the other teachers work very hard making sure all of the dancers have a great experience. It truly is a family like atmosphere. I give Michele's Dance Center my highest recomendation.
Good dance studio with beautiful dresses for rehearsal and nice teachers. $60 per month for toddlers.
My 2 year old daughter participated in a summer dance workshop. It was her first experience dancing and was my first experience as a parent taking my child to dance lessons. Her teachers have gone above and beyond helping her to feel comfortable and comfortable in this new experience to set a positive foundation.
Adult ballet at Michele's Dance Center
Michele's Dance Center runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Michele's 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.
