Our daughter has been dancing there for 7 years. We love it! It's not just a dance studio it's like being part of a family. The teachers are awesome and they have something for everyone, from toddlers to adults.

★★★★★ — Suzanne, Aug 2017

First of all I want to say that Rhythm Pointe Dance Academy is the most family friendly environment we have found. The studio is not only about dance but about the bonds that are built between the dancers. The teachers care for each dancer like they were their own. We would not call any other studio our home.

★★★★★ — Kristen, Aug 2017

This is our second family! My daughter has been welcomed here with open arms while new to the local school district. Making friends at dance transitioned into easily finding friends at her new school. Her dance training is top notch and the teachers are supportive and kind. The studio is welcoming and clean.

Your first ballet class at Rhythm Pointe Dance Academy

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
