From the reviews
We are absolutely thrilled we found this studio. We came from Illinois and my daughter had done 5 years of dance. She had not been in dance for 2 years after we moved to south carolina. The studios around us were not a good fit for her. When we decided to go visit the complex the owner let her try the wed.
We highly recommend The Complex to everyone we know! Last year we needed to switch studios, and The Complex was an answer to our prayers. Miss Ryn is an amazing instructor (and person all around). She has so much passion and a knowledge of dance that I haven’t seen anywhere else in our area.
We are so glad we found The Complex!! Not only do our girls (age 3 and 6) learn amazing technique, they are also taught values that will stay with them even when the last dance is done. The owner is extremely passionate about dancing and teaching and it shows!
We LOVE The Complex! The owner Ryn is fabulous and has such a positive spirit. My 12 yr old daughter has fun every week and enjoys her high energy hip hop class. She has even asked us to consider allowing her to take more than one class, so we consider that a win!
Adult ballet at The Complex: Dance & Creative Space
The Complex: Dance & Creative Space 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 The Complex: Dance & Creative Space
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.
