From the reviews
Both my daughters have attended for a few years now and we have had a wonderful experience. The staff is super friendly and the teachers are great dancers full of energy and pass that passion onto the kids.
Ms Christy is absolutely amazing!! Love her beyond words. We’ve been at the school for 4 years and had a bit of a bumpy start with my then 4 year old getting attached to teachers that would leave mid year (for career opportunities- which is life).
My daughter has been a student of School of Dance and Music for five years, beginning with Mommy and Me when she was two years old. We have had some frustrating experiences with teacher attrition when a beloved teacher has let unexpectedly, but overall, we’ve been happy with the school.
Our daughter has been dancing here since she was two, and now at eight, her passion for dance is stronger than ever. She absolutely loves her class and adores her teacher, Ms. Kristy, who has helped her blossom; we've seen a massive boost in her confidence thanks to this incredible studio.
Your first ballet class at School of Dance & Music (Aviation)
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.
