From the reviews
I have to honestly say I am so proud of Kim. She has always had a love of dance and the arts. To see her perform at recital and seeing each child glow w pride and excitement proves just how much Kim loves her job. It is also not just a job for her. She sees these children as her extended family.
My daughter has taken ballet, tap and hip hop and has loved all three. Ms. Kim is young and fun and the kids love her! It's the perfect type of dance studio: one that can accommodate a dancer who really takes dance seriously as well as one that is great for the recreational young dancer.
My daughter has taken classes at various dance studios in the area. Millpond Dance is by far the best one. Miss Kim is an incredible role model and makes the classes challenging and fun. We are so glad we discovered this amazing studio!
We LOVE millpond Dance!! We found the studio on a whim a little over 2 years ago (for my then 3 year old) and fell in love. Kim, the owner and teacher, goes way above and beyond to make personal connections and build relationships with the students.
Your first ballet class at Millpond Dance
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.
