From the reviews
We found The Panache Dance Co while looking for a place for my grandgirls to learn dance…it happened to be the first call I made & owner Sydney Smedley was such a sweet & welcoming voice…letting me know all about the studio.
I've had three girls use Panache and I can't sing it's praises enough. The instructors are talented, fun, creative, professional and great role models for our girls. Sydney does a great job making fees affordable and minimal. I appreciate that the performances don't cost us money and aren't a long taxing experience.
"Panache Dance Co is amazing! The instructors are talented and supportive, and the studio has a fantastic energy. My daughter has taken classes in various styles and loved every minute of it. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making it easy to feel at home.
My daughter has danced with Panache for seven years, and it’s truly her home away from home. So much of her confidence has come from the positive, uplifting environment that Sydney has created. We absolutely love Panache Dance Co.!
Adult ballet at Panache Dance Co.
Panache Dance Co. runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Panache Dance Co.
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.
