From the reviews
Brittani and Stephanie did an amazing job transforming the studio to Brooke’s Cirque du Soleil adventure! Every skill and level was given to our guests and everyone walked away accomplished at acro and silks! We love the instructors at MDF!
My girls LOVED Move dance family this summer. We joined them for the summer camp and it was the best decision we made for my girls. I loved how intentional and graceful all the staff were. My girls loved it so much that we had to join the dance family this fall. We are looking forward to making amazing memories here.
When my son said he wanted to have a dance party for his birthday party, I had no idea he meant, learn a hip hop dance with his friends. I did a google search for dance studios near me that hosted birthday parties and found Move Dance Family.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Move and Dance Family—from their unmatched dedication to their dancers to the incredibly warm, inclusive environment they cultivate, every detail reflects their passion and expertise.
Adult ballet at Move Dance Family
Move Dance Family runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 Move Dance Family
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.
