From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing at Pamela's for over 10 years now. From the time she was 5 she's learned so much, developed amazing dance skills and loved the environment of this studio. We so appreciate the focus on dance as an art form rather than a competitive sport.
I started going here 3 weeks ago and am pleased to say I'll definitely become a regular comer now. Everyone from the staff to dancers is welcoming and polite. Rebecca, the belly dance instructor, is extremely inviting especially to those first starting out belly dance. And belly dance classes are only $15 a class!
Taylor H. is the best instructor I have ever had. I lack hand-eye coordination, grace, and general balance. She has taught me grace and poise, and even how to run. I would be lost without Taylor and I am getting a tattoo of her face on my thigh, so when I look down she is always there.
We are very proud that our daughters and/or granddaughters have the immense opportunity to count on Pamela Trokanski's presence, knowledge, and extraordinary experience in Davis!! Thank you, Pamela! May God bless you always!
Your first ballet class at Pamela Trokanski 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.
