From the reviews

Great Studio! My kids have been coming to Susan’s for about 8 years. The teachers teach them responsibility, creativity, besides dance to just name a few. My kids are also on the dance team. It’s like another family. We love how the dance team puts all the rules and costs upfront.

★★★★★ — Amy, Jun 2018

My children love dancing at this studio ( their home away from home) and we love the staff and Parents. All 3 have been dancing since they were 3, 4 and 5. They have been on the competition team for the last 5/ 6 years. Samantha is a great mentor and coach.

★★★★★ — M, Mar 2021

This is an amazing dance school. While not a traditional school, like elementary school, the teachers focus on teaching the little ones how to follow directions. Even at an early age, the children learn about responsibility and accountability. They know to be on time and to show up to class.

★★★★★ — Scott, May 2018

We have been with Susan’s School of Dance for 3 years. My granddaughter loves being there! She is 8 and takes many different types of dance. She has been on the competition team for two years . The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Your first ballet class at Susan's School of 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.
