From the reviews
I danced at Retter's for 10 years, and during that time the studio was my second home and the place where I discovered my passion and love for dance. The teachers and the training philosophy at RAD then built upon that love for dance, providing me with incredibly valuable lessons and skills.
Ever since I’ve been dancing at RAD I’ve felt happier and more confident with myself than ever before. All my the teachers are so nice, amazing, and push me and the other dancers to work harder all the time. I’m so happy I get to be surrounded by such wonderful people everyday!
RAD has been the place where I’ve felt most at home while dancing over the past four years. It’s more than just a studio to me—it’s where I’ve grown both as a dancer and as a person.
My daughter has been dancing with the Retter dance family for almost 9 years now since she was 4. Linda and Daryl Retter, the owners, are 100% invested in their students and their growth in dance and in life. They hire amazing teachers as well as hire from within to fill other positions.
Your first ballet class at Rad Dance Studio
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.
