From the reviews
Our little up and coming DANCER. At 3 she decided she wanted to dance, and we found the perfect place. Her drive to reach new levels is unbelievable for a nine year old. We have BROADWAY on the brain. Just to keep our dancing days, we maintain a 3.89 GPA😊.
Straub Dance Center is where you will receive first rate training in dance, and valuable lessons in life. They offer classes ranging in all subjects and skill levels. Love, care and attention from all of the staff and instructors is paramount at this amazing dance center.
I had the privilege of dancing at SDC from the age of 4-18 and now I have the honor of teaching at the same studio that instilled my love for dance and passion for teaching! In my opinion, we do a great job of combining strong technique and training with fun and positive energy!
Straub has been a positive influence on my daughter for 8 years. We are always so proud of the studio when we go to competitions because we know that their costumes and music will be appropriate.
Your first ballet class at Straub 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.
