From the reviews
I wish I could paste a giant eye roll to the low review on this page. High Impact Dance, it’s instructors and staff are professional, friendly, and helpful in every way. My daughter has been going to classes here on and off for a couple years and it’s great!
My daughter has been dancing at High Impact since January of 2018. She loves it here. It’s her home away from home. When the previous owner sold the studio over the summer, we were a little worried about the transition.
I wrote an earlier review during my daughters first year but decided this studio needed an updated review because of how amazing they have been! This is my daughters second year of dancing with High Impact and I’m so impressed with the staff, especially during the covid pandemic.
The instructors really care about the dancers and developing them where they are at. The older kids help and encourage the younger kids and it is a real family atmosphere, even when things get hectic at performances. My tiny dancer has been there for 3 years and loves all the teachers and the other kids so much.
Adult ballet at Momentum Dance - formerly High Impact Dance
Momentum Dance - formerly High Impact Dance runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Momentum Dance - formerly High Impact 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.
