From the reviews
Southern Oregon Dance Center has been a huge part of our daughters life and I appreciate every moment of it. Such a great studio, lot's of different dance options available. Safe environment and a great friendship bond with the kids.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love this dance studio! Our daughter has grown so much since joining — not just in her dance skills, but in her confidence and leadership, too. The instructors do an amazing job teaching technique while also encouraging responsibility, teamwork, and genuine character-building.
Our daughter has been dancing with this studio for over seven years, it is her home away from home. It is where she found her passion for dance and has learned and grown so much.
We absolutely love this dance studio and all the affiliated dancers and instructors. They offer an array of classes and a passion for their trade. Children are able to explore the world of dance, make friends, learn discipline, and create art in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you SODC!
Your first ballet class at Southern Oregon Dance Center
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.
