From the reviews
This is such a gift to the Tacoma area to have a dance studio that supports all bodies to find movement and culture. I just completed 10 weeks of beginner belly dance with Kat and loved it so much. I feel more confident in my body and dance. Very inspired to continue the journey.
I attend Tribal Fusion belly dance classes with Catherine on Wednesdays, and Belly dance burn with Kat on Sundays. They are both wonderful instructors that clearly explain moves, supportive, kind and full of energy.
This studio offers a wide variety of classes from beginner to advanced. Kat not only owns the studio but teaches classes and is a wonderful person to learn from. Stacy is the zumba classes along with the new heels dance class and she makes everyone feel like their best selves.
This place and space is an incredible gem. The studio itself is in a nice part of town, is very clean, and has nice little extras like snacks and coke drinks available. There’s even a store where you can buy dance costumes and accessories, which is both educational and inspiring.
Adult ballet at Tacoma Dance Studios LLC
Tacoma Dance Studios LLC 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 Tacoma Dance Studios LLC
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.
