My daughter has loved dancing at JDS. The staff, instructors, and studio owner are all very awesome, and very organized and exceptional. I have also been extremely impressed with their Stepping Stones preschool.

★★★★★ — Katie, Aug 2016

Love this studio so much. I have had the opportunity for my girls to dance here for the last 17 plus years. The teachers are so invested in each kiddo and always pushing them to do their best and advance further in the dance world. They are so caring and supportive and really knows each dancer individually.

Your first ballet class at The Collective Performing Arts Center - Layton

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.
