“I'm so thankful for the support they continue to show my daughter as she finds her confidence.”

From the reviews
When choosing a dance studio for my daughter, I wanted to know going in that not only would she receive quality ballet instruction, but that she would be treated as a child. So often we see companies dress young girls like grown women and expect you to be okay with them dancing in a sexual manner.
My daughter is in the Dewdrop dance class at Pure Dance Works. The Dewdrop program is for kids age 18-36 months old; it's tailored for the little ones in a way that's imaginative and fun. It has been wonderful watching her learn and grow in the classroom.
My daughter loves her ballet class! She looks forward to it every week and is always showing me new things she learned in class. Pure Dance Works is a very safe and comforting environment for little ones! As a parent you are always informed on what to expect each week in the studio.
If you’re looking for a dance studio for your child in Fort Wayne, look no further than Pure Dance Works. We started in Dewdrop and transitioned into Sparkle this past year. The teachers and staff are so caring, the studio clean, and the communication amazing!
Your first ballet class at Pure Dance Works
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.
