From the reviews

Awesome place!! Staff and instructors are super friendly. My daughter looks forward to her classes each week.

★★★★★ — Lynsay, Jun 2018

I have 3 daughters all at different dance levels, so finding a studio to accommodate all of them in the past has been difficult until we found Move Dance Academy. The studio is perfect for beginners, recreational, and the competitive dancer.

Just enrolled my granddaughter here last week. All I can say is she loves it here! Staff is super friendly and encouraging to the children. Instructors use effective teaching methods . She is so excited and motivated to learn dance techniques. She’s happy, having fun and learning! That’s what’s important to us.

Your first ballet class at Move 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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
