Nancy provides a positive, encouraging atmosphere for her students. Without a doubt she loves her craft and she loves her kids. My so shy 3 year old began dancing many years ago and I credit Nancy with giving her confidence as well as teaching her the finer points of dance technique.
My daughters have taken dance classes with Ms. Nancy for the past few years. They both love their classes and have continued to attend online through the pandemic. Ms. Nancy teaches proper technique while maintaining a fun and supportive environment for the kids.
Wonderful studio. My daughters have been taking lessons here for awhile. They’ve learned wonderful dance techniques and terminology, The classes are developmentally appropriate for each age level and movement is taught to the little ones in meaningful ways utilizing not only “traditional “ dance music but songs that…
A great dance studio. Nancy teaches children at the appropriate pace for their age. She creates a fun, positive atmosphere for all. My child has learned so much in the 4 years she has been a student at this studio. I would highly recommend this dance studio to anyone wanting to learn to dance.
Your first ballet class at Nancy Larsen Dance Studio
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.
