From the reviews

I cannot say enough amazing things about Nan's Dance Studio. They were an answer to my prayers! We had just moved to the area from Charlotte during the pandemic and we had no idea what to expect. My daughter was not too keen on finding a new dance family and said she would never dance again.

★★★★★ — Niurka, Apr 2022

We love Nan’s School of Dance! My daughter thinks dance days are the best days! When she walks into the studio she and her classmates are always greeted by name and to me that’s as important as anything. It’s an added bonus that her confidence has soared since starting dance two years ago!

★★★★★ — Rebecca, May 2022

Nan's is a very friendly and positive place. I've had two of my daughters attend classes here over the years and would highly recommend to anyone looking for dance studio for their child. Never had a bad experience. They also put on beautiful and very well planned recitals :-)

★★★★★ — Myt13, Nov 2022

The people who own and run Nan's are phenomenal! Not only do they offer dance classes for every age, but they also offer athletic training at great rates!

Your first ballet class at Nan's School of 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.

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.
