From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing with Studio West since she was five and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality of instruction, studio space and skills she has developed due to her time in class. Our daughter spends several hours a week in class at the studio since she is a competitive dancer.
All three of our kids(2 sons and 1 daughter) have taken classes at Studio West through the years. Our experience with this studio has always been a 5 star experience. Jennifer runs a professional and caring business and employs top notch dance instructors. Our daughter would call the studio her second home and family.
My daughter has been dancing for 10 years, so when we moved to FC from out of state we searched extensively for a dance studio that she would feel comfortable at and where she would continue with good dance education. What we found in SWDC is a family!
My daughter has danced at SWDC for the past two years. The teachers and training has been excellent. They provide a friendly, encouraging environment for the dancers.
Your first ballet class at Studio West 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.
