From the reviews

My daughters have danced competitively for 9 years. After a devastating 2021-2022 season at a local dance studio, my daughters no longer enjoyed going to a place that they had once considered a second home. Luckily, we had a connection to Special Touch Talent.

★★★★★ — Debra, Mar 2023

This is our first competition season with STT. We are thrilled with the progess my daughter has made. She is happy and thriving in this new environment. The staff is supportive, constructive, and wholly love the dancers. This is a great place to pursue a love of dance and to get a great foundation.

★★★★★ — Megan, Mar 2023

My granddaughters just joined Special Touch Talent Dance Studio last summer after a very stressful year with another studio. They have thrived in the new environment and once again love and enjoy dance. The atmosphere is one of loving care for all the dancers. The teachers are amazing. Thank you, Miss Mel.

★★★★★ — Deanna, Mar 2023

My daughter has danced at Special Touch Talent (STT) for over 5 years now. Miss Melody and her team of instructors and staff are truly next to none! The love and support at the studio has created so many forever friendships for my daughter who came to the studio as a shy 3 year old.

Your first ballet class at Special Touch Talent 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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
