From the reviews
Miss Chantel and her staff do an incredible job of making every single dancer and parent feel welcome. She offers a wide variety of styles so anyone is able to find the class that best suits them.
We are so happy going to Miss Chantel’s dance studio. Chantel and her team of dance teachers are amazing and patient. My daughter has learned so much and has made so many friends over the years. I love the work out classes. The studio is wide open and clean. Highly recommended!
My daughter has been dancing with Miss Chantel for the past several years and loves every minute of it. Signing her up as been the best decision we have ever made. I have never seen her more passionate, committed, and dedicated and I have Chantel and her amazing staff to thank for that.
I take the Barre class at Miss Chantel's Star Dance Academy and I LOVE it! Words cannot express how much fun and how great of a workout that class is. I look forward to going each week. The studio is beautiful and very clean and well kept.
Your first ballet class at Miss Chantel's Star 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.
