From the reviews
My daughters joined the competition team about 3 years ago and we’ve had a great experience. The teachers are the best! It is their home away from home.
This studio is such a wonderful place for young dancers to flourish. I grew up dancing here and, for over 10 years, this place has felt like a second home. All of the teachers are kind, compassionate, inspiring, and dedicated to helping every student achieve their fullest potential as artists and athletes.
I’ve been taking class at Premiere Dance Center (as an adult) for nearly 5 years straight. Currently I am there for 6 hours of tap class a week and can’t sing enough praise about the kind staff, knowledgeable teachers, and friendly dance students of all ages.
I have been a part of the PDC family for 7 years and have loved every moment of it! All the faculty members are so supportive and caring! PDC truly felt like my second home in High School and I’m so happy they welcome me back to class now that I’m in college!
Adult ballet at Premiere Dance Center
Premiere Dance Center runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Premiere Dance Center
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.
