From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing here for 7 years. A great place for general classes and competition teams. They teach a wide variety of dancing techniques for both girls and boys, beginning to adult. Great instructors with years in the industry.
My son has danced with SEDA for going on 13 years now. We are very happy here at our dance home!
Love this place. Great instructors that teach wonderful technique for a general student or competitive dancer. Teaches from 18 mos to adult. Our oldest graduated with 16 years of dance. Our youngest is on year 14. I also dance here. Love my SEDA Dance family. :)
SEDA has well trained teachers with experience in all kinds of dance. They provide good technique and a warm loving atmosphere.
Your first ballet class at South East Dance Academy
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.
