From the reviews
I attended Tupac for a long time and still do. I do ballet and theater and they have been very accommodating. Klair has done a wonderful job as a director/founder. They are super nice but also get it done. Wide range of classes and activities. I would definitely check it out
I am longing to dance dance dance! T.U.P.A.C. Is the studio in Tacoma City that I choose! I took African dance class🌺. I am coming back to take Ballet 💃🏿
My daughter has been a student here for almost 6 months. She loves the teachers the students the parents. Just a great place to be and learn.
Editing this review: Owner reached out to explain there was a family emergency. I was refunded and given an apology. Was very professional and apologetic! :)
Your first ballet class at Tacoma Urban 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.
