From the reviews
We love SESD, my little girl has been dancing there since she was 2 1/2. Mrs Katherine has been great with her from the start, she was very shy and wouldn’t dance at her 1st recital. Now she is apart of the Dance Team and loves to dance and wants to take every class possible!!
This dance studio is so amazing, the dance teachers are not just a dance teacher but every girls best friend. I love every single person in this dance studio, shoutout to Mrs. Katherine the best director ever! Love you all!
Love this dance studio! We had to move here a year ago because the dance studio we were at closed. It was very sad for us, we even talk about taking a break from dance. We are so thankful we find Southeast School of Dance! My daughter love Ms Katherine from the moment she meant her!
Our Daughter LOVES SESD, and we do too! The staff is kind and professional. The work these young people and their instructors put in to make a one of a kind recital is top notch. We enjoy watching our little one grow and become more confident in herself while also striving to do great things. Thank you to Mrs.
Adult ballet at Southeast School of Dance
Southeast School of Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Southeast 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.
