Wow, where do I start? We’ve been with Strive For 2 1/2 years now. Of coarse my girls started as recreational dancers but after a few months they were invited to try out for competitive team. It was a little nerve wreaking for both my girls as my oldest was more of a Gymnast and had no prior knowledge about dancing.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Oct 2022

I’ve had two daughters dance at Strive,and they both really enjoyed Miss Jen,the owner/teacher. I’ve known Jen since we were children,and she’s always been a very caring and compassionate individual.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Oct 2022

This is the best dance studio my kids love it and they are super friendly and nice to the kids. They love to teach the girls and boys how to do different dances and techniques.

Your first ballet class at Strive 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.

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.
