From the reviews
A great place to develop a love of dance while also attaining the technical skills to be an amazing dancer. The teachers are warm and highly skilled. The studio is beautiful and open. The end of year recital is quite a production that showcases the tiniest to the eldest dancers.
My daughter has been going to SF Dance Space for 8 years. She has had many teachers over the years and every single one has been magical and contributed to my daughter's love of dance in so many ways. The woman who runs the studio is incredible - I think of her as the matriarch of our dance family.
Excellent teachers, personal attention, spectacular spring performances. A gem of a studio!
My daughters have been dancing with Ms Laura and her team for over 12 years. The teachers are all so caring and compassionate. This is not a movement class - this is learning ballet and contemporary with proper form and alignment.
Your first ballet class at San Francisco Dance Space
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.
