From the reviews
Magic happens here. The atmosphere and technique is nurturing and supportive. The older students mentor and perform at times with the younger students in an amazing collaboration which is a joy to watch. They both learn so much from the experience.
This dance studio is truly and amazing place. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a welcoming and supportive community where everyone belongs. The environment is inclusive, uplifting and full of encouragement—students and families quickly become part of a close-knit dance family.
This dance studio has changed our lives! What a gem! Our child is part of a community that not only dances together but goes to shows, dinners, and events with the kids being the center of building a socially and emotionally safe space.
Melissa, staff and students choreograph multiple Disney Jr level musicals in the course of the year. They also put on dance shows in addition to the musicals. This is an amazing undertaking considering each student gets a chance to play a lead, major, ensemble role with incredible frequency.
Your first ballet class at Terpsichore Dance and Theatre
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.
