From the reviews

We just love Saint Pete dance center and all the variety it offers. It’s a safe, loving and fun environment that my daughter is continuously growing in her dance skills with SPDC. Mrs. Katie and all the teachers are the best, fun and talented. We are so happy to be at this studio.

My son has been dancing with Miss Katie for two years now, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her and this dance studio!!! Miss Katie connects with each student and brings out the best, she teaches so much more than just dance. She truly loves each and every one of her “kids”!

★★★★★ — Tom, Jun 2019

Both of my children dance at St. Pete Dance Center and absolutely love it! We enjoy the options of different classes offered here. As long as my children want to dance, we will definitely be at St. Pete Dance Center.

★★★★★ — Cara, Jul 2019

My son and daughter are both in classes here and we absolutely LOVE it! We have tried classes at other studios and it wasn’t a good fit. SPDC offers a perfect blend of fun, structure and amazing instruction. You won’t be disappointed :)

Your first ballet class at Saint Pete Dance Center

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.
