From the reviews

Spotlight has been my home away from home for the last 14 years. I have always felt so welcomed and a part of the Spotlight family since I first began taking dance lessons. Stacey, the owner, strives to be the best for all of her dancers and get to know each student/family on a personal level.

★★★★★ — Mckenna, Jan 2019

My daughter who is now 16 has been dancing at Spotlight Studio since she was 3. She loves it there and absolutely loves Stacey. I also started dancing again a year ago. A professional, fun, loving dancing family. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Janet, Jan 2019

I have been a student at Spotoight Studio for 14 years and have never met anyone more compassionate for her students than Stacey. If you are looking for a studio that treats everyone fairly then this is the place.

Your first ballet class at Spotlight Dance Studio By Stacey Kabasinski

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.
