“And, thankfully for me, they don’t do recitals every six months or overcharge for them — in one of the other schools we tried, they had two per year and it was a lot.”
“Nice, Clean, Good Speakers.”
“Very professional, kids love it!”
From the reviews
Great dancing studio! Very professional, kids love it! The studio is beautiful and you find so much love in every detail there. Great leadership by the owner, who is looking very well after all its students, their parents and own staff! Can’t wait to come back, thank you!
The staff and owner of Studio Z are fantastic and go above and beyond for their dancers! They were so patient and reinforcing with my toddler in teaching her the basics of dance. We love Christie and the crew at Studio Z!
This place tends to have dances that are more age appropriate than most. Not having you girls dancing like strippers like other places nearby
The owner Christy is so beautiful person she really know how to treat children and parents Place is beautiful Everyone is very polite 🙂
Adult ballet at Studio Z Performing Arts Center
Studio Z Performing Arts Center runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Studio Z Performing Arts 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.
