From the reviews
Mindy’s JSCD has been such a blessing to our family. We wanted a safe, loving environment for our children and we found that here. The staff is beyond amazing who truly care about each child. They are all very knowledgable, friendly, patient and understanding.
We have been with Mindy for 12 years and I couldn't ask for a better place for my daughters to dance. They learn so much more than dance here. They learn confidence and self-discipline, dedication and responsibility, teamwork and empathy. They have learned how important it is to take care of and love their bodies.
My daughter has been dancing at Mindy’s going on 11 years now. It’s such a family oriented place! It’s the one place my daughter goes that brings her most joy. All of the teachers (and staff) are there with an open ear and a hug to every single dancer! We wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Great family oriented dance studio. The classes have really promoted self confidence in my kids. Staff is great with the kids, the older dancers do a good job helping with the youngest children.
Your first ballet class at Mindy's Jessamine School of Classical 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.
