From the reviews
This is the best Dance School I have ever seen! Instructors are kind, patient, and professional with each student. Classes are full of different activities that help young dancers learn new techniques, feel music, and express themselves during dancing. Children make friends, work as a team, and enjoy their classes.
What a magical dance studio for my daughter. She has only been enrolled at Pursuit for a year but has made incredible improvements in a short amount of time and fallen in love with ballet, jazz, and contemporary.
Our daughters have truly grown, not just in their dance skills, but in their confidence, discipline, and love for dance. Pursuit provides an encouraging environment where dancers feel seen, supported, and inspired to do their best.
Our family loves Pursuit School of Dance. Our daughter has danced there for many years and has grown so much under the teachers at Pursuit. We love this school because it feels like a family, costumes are modest and they don’t do competition dance- just work hard, make friends and enjoy the art of dance!
Your first ballet class at Pursuit 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.
