From the reviews
I have danced with TCFA since I was nearly 4 years old and I wouldn’t want to call any other studio my home. The atmosphere, teachers, and other students here are so welcoming and kind, I have called them my family for as long as I can remember.
I grew up dancing here, and this is the only studio in East Tennessee I would send my daughter to! It's not just a dance studio, it's a second home. The staff are truly invested in each student, technique is the base of all classes, and dancer's safety is prioritized.
My daughter has danced at TCFA for many years. It’s the perfect size studio for us: small enough for highly individualized instruction, but large enough to offer plenty of performance opportunities. She participates in Ballet Gloria, the company which makes its home at TCFA, and is a member of TCFA’s competition team.
My daughter has danced here since the age of three. She loves it and so do I. TCFA is a Classical, technic based studio that is home to Ballet Gloria Dance Company, and TCFA competition dance team.
Your first ballet class at Tenn Conservatory of Fine Arts
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.
