From the reviews
At Strive you’re more then a dancer, you’re family! Strive isn’t only a name, it’s a motto. All the Strive staff STRIVES to put their best foot forward in everything they do. Ms. Victoria & Ms. Katie are my dancers favorite teachers. Thanks to them she is learning to perfect her techniques all while having fun.
My daughter loves coming to class every week. She enjoys the friendly environment. My daughter started out being the youngest in her dance class but kept up with the other girls. Her confidence is through the roof and it’s all because of the great teacher/s here. Thank you for increasing her love for dance.
My daughter loves coming to Strive! She loves her dance teachers! Highly recommend!!
My 4 year old has been dancing with Ms. Victoria since the beginning of the summer. My daughter experiences some anxiety and struggled with the separation aspect early on. Ms. Victoria worked calmly and kindly through it with her—Where other dance teachers may have become frustrated and written her off, Ms.
Your first ballet class at Strive Dance Company
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.
