Kristi is the best of the best. Her studio has an encouraging environment and the training is superb. If you want a quality dance education in a loving and encouraging environment, this is the place to go.
My daughter has been danicing here since 1st grade. Each year we try something different. Mrs. Kristi Beers is the best and I know she couldn't do it all without a supoortive staff, enthusiastic dancers and supportive parents.
Your first ballet class at Palmetto Performing Arts
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.
