From the reviews
It doesn't get any better than PWSD! Vanessa pours her heart and soul into every dancer and it shows!!
If you’re looking for a top notch dance school, I highly recommend Patsy Watson. This family-owned studio has been a cherished part of our community for many years, and it’s clear why they’ve built such a strong reputation.
Young and older students love the training they've received from Patsy Watson for over 60 years of being in business in Lansing. The care and concern she has shown to her students is appreciated. This has lead to her success through the years and is passed on to her daughter, Rhonda Mitchell and granddaughter Vanessa.
My daughter has been dancing at this school for a couple of years now and she loves it. This is a family owned company and all of the instructors are really nice and work very good with children of all ages.
Your first ballet class at Patsy Watson School of 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.
