From the reviews

Our girls have been dancing at Nebraska Dance for 5 years now, and each year gets better. Miss Jenny gave them both a solid dance foundation, and most genuine love of dance and I will forever be grateful for our first years being with Miss Jenny.

★★★★★ — Nikki, Jun 2023

We were lucky enough to be able to have Nebraska Dance out for Fun Day at our elementary school. Throughout the day each class got to spend a very quick half hour with two incredible teachers (Jessie and Allie). I can't tell you how much fun it was to see the joy on the faces of 450 kids.

★★★★★ — Calvin, May 2019

My daughter has been going to Nebraska Dance for 8 years and she has loved every minute of it. The staff there are wonderful. When we started we were just looking for a place for our daughter to dance and what we found is a family.

★★★★★ — Lorertee, Nov 2017

Teachers are great with the kids and they have stayed open / maintained safety standards even during the pandemic.

Your first ballet class at Nebraska Dance Central

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.
