From the reviews

Our son has been going to Sunshine for about 18 months now and he loves it! We started with a hip hop camp in the summer, where they learned several choreographies over the course of a week, which was really impressive.

★★★★★ — Tore, Dec 2022

If you’re looking for a dance studio for your child, I can’t recommend Sunshine Dance and Cheer enough! We originally signed up for ballet and tap lessons for my daughter, but we’ve since expanded to competition jazz—and we’re hoping to add hip hop next year. The studio has such an amazing sense of community.

★★★★★ — Mary, Jan 2025

We started out at Sunshine a couple of years ago. My kid loved doing Tutu’s and Tapshoes. She enjoyed meeting other kids and has gained so much confidence from performing in the studios dance productions.

★★★★★ — Cortnee, Oct 2023

Your first ballet class at Sunshine Dance & Cheer Studio

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.
