From the reviews
My daughter did a summer dance camp here, and had the best time! I wish they offered the option of doing once a week classes rather than twice a week, just to help bring the cost down. Most dance studios in town are about $20-$25 less per hour for a class.
My daughter has been dancing with Springs Dance for 7+ years now. We have a lot of experience with the staff and the studio. That being said this is one of the best, most caring, patient, skilled team of dance instructors I have ever been associated with. They go out of their way to pour into the dancers.
Wow I am so impressed! My daughter has been wanting to do dance for a while now , we are finally doing it. She went in to dance class a little nervous, Jessie the instructor is amazing. She was instantly super sweet and helpful to my daughter. She made my daughter feel so welcomed and a part of the dance world.
I've been taking the adult classes at Springs Dance West for three months now, and I could not be happier! I am extremely impressed by the variety of classes offered for adults, and the ability to be able to perform on stage again.
Adult ballet at Springs Dance
Springs Dance runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Springs 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.
