From the reviews

This is my son’s second year at Northwest Dance Center and he loves it! He has tried the combo class and had so much fun doing the recital. He is now doing tap class with Miss Emily and he looks forward to it every week!

★★★★★ — Badass, Oct 2022

My 7-year-old daughter signed up for tap dance lessons after trying out another studio in the area. She loves it here! And I love that it is a family-owned business in my community.

I’ve went to this studio since it opened and loved every minute of it. The owner is amazing is always there to help. I’ve made many friends in my classes and loved all the fun shows we get to together. This is truly a wonderful studio.

Your first ballet class at Northwest Dance Center LLC

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.
