From the reviews
We've always thought it was important for our kids to be involved in activities outside of the home to build their social and emotional skills and help find their way in the world.
Amazing studio! What they have done this year and to get the girls back to dance is simply the best. Keeping them safe but letting them dance.
An excellent dance studio for kids and adolescents for beginners and advanced dancers!
Your first ballet class at Stage Door Dance Academy
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.
