From the reviews
What a wonderful experience we had with Brielle's first year of dance. The teacher and assistants were so loving and patient with the very active little ones and the occasional little gifts were such a sweet touch. The recital was very entertaining and it makes us look forward to sending her there for years to come!
We have two of our grandkids going to this location. Teachers seem to push the children to get results from the kids. This is good as the children seem eager to keep going to the dance classes.
This dance school has a comfy and loving environment. The teachers are sweet and loving. Sam Smith School Of Dance is a second home for me and always will be.
Your first ballet class at Sam Smith 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.
