From the reviews
Everything about RCDC is first-rate. Having never been involved in dance any time in my life until my daughter started about a year ago, I was kind of shocked by the prices of the camps and classes.
The staff is really attentive to the dancers needs. My family loves Rock City for a multitude of reasons. First, their classes start and end on time. The costumes that they order are well made. Rock City doesn't schedule all of their five year olds for the same performance...
We LOVE Rock City Dance Center! We've been apart of the RCDC family for a year now, and couldn't imaging being anywhere else. If you are looking for amazing dance experience for your daughter or son, there is no reason to look any where else.
Rock City Dance Center is absolutely amazing! My daughter has been attending for three years now and she loves it! The staff is so talented, and they really go above and beyond to make sure they every dancer is reaching their full potential. The love and joy for dance goes beyond the dance floor at Rock City.
Adult ballet at Rock City Dance Center - Little Rock
Rock City Dance Center - Little Rock runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 Rock City Dance Center - Little Rock
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.
