From the reviews
I danced at Short Dance Studios for 15 years, and to say my life was changed here would be an understatement. I am pursuing professional dance, and this wouldn't be an option for me without this studio. Throughout my time here I learned self motivation, confidence, respect, and so much more.
Two if my daughters have been with Short Dance Studios for 10 years and have been part of the competition line for most of them. I would give Short Dance studio 10 of 5 starts as the best dance studio!
I have had my daughter dancing at this studio for 10 years now. They have become family. She learns more than just dance when she is there; she learns how to be a leader, how to better understand her body and her limits as well as how to push herself.
We absolutely love Short Dance Studios!! We have four children who all dance with Short Dance. They love being a part of the dance world, but more importantly love being a part of Short Dance. Short Dance is great for kids of all ages; girls and boys!!! You won't find a better dance education!!
Your first ballet class at Short Dance Studios
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.
