From the reviews
My daughter has been a student since she was 2 years old. She is now 14 and on the competition team. I'm soo impressed at how she has grown as a dancer and as a young woman. Paula trains these students to become young respectful dancers. Her teachers are professional and attentive.
Paula Terenzi is an extremely professional business owner and dance teacher. My daughter has grown so much as a dancer since she started dancing with Paula. Paula emphasizes with her students the importance of being your best self.
I have been driving down 40-45 mins each way 4-6 times a week for 15 years for my 2 daughters to dance at this studio! Very professional! Great teachers and staff! They have amazing technique! They become confident in themselves and wanting to continue on with dance and it being their passion!
After dancing with Paula for 15 years, I'm so happy to have my daughter at the Dance Complex now too!! Paula and the rest of the faculty are professional, amazingly talented and patient with young dancers. My daughter started at age 2.5 and is now in her 7th year.
Your first ballet class at Paula Terenzi's Dance Complex
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.
