How they train
What families & students say
“I searched long and hard two years ago to make sure that she was at a studio that not only taught foundational steps but technique and dance vocabulary.”
“They offer a wide variety of classes, my daughter absolutely loves it here.”
“The staff are very inclusive here and makes everyone feel as if they are apart of one big family.”
“At the end of this year’s recital, they had all the dancers on stage at the end for a line dance to the EDITED version of The Wobble.”
“The younger children were taught new dance movements to accompany the edited version.”
“We have been very pleased with the professional environment and the top-shelf instruction our daughter has received.”
From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing with Surry County Dance Center for 3 years. We have been very pleased with the professional environment and the top-shelf instruction our daughter has received. Other reviews have said things about vulgar music and movements.
Surry County Dance Center is the only studio I will let my daughter study at. I searched long and hard two years ago to make sure that she was at a studio that not only taught foundational steps but technique and dance vocabulary.
We love SCDC because of its focus on a dance education in a calm, caring environment. The students and parents are treated with respect. Costumes, music, and dance moves are appropriate and pleasing for families to watch. I do not "clutch my pearls" when watching a SCDC show.
I can only say wonderful things about SCDC. My daughter has danced with SCDC since she was 3 years old. She just completed her 13th year with SCDC. She also worked as a student dance assistant this past year. She has learned so much over the years and I am so grateful for the positive influence in her life!
Your first ballet class at Surry County 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.
