From the reviews
Parents seeking a dance studio for their young dancer should consider The Dance Barre. We have a 5 year old girl who enjoys jazz, ballet and ballroom. She loves dancing in a group and does competitive ballroom. While the studio is brand new, we have done a week of intensive dance.
We love the Dance Barre. My daughter started dancing at 4 years old at another studio. She never loved going and was still really shy. Fast forward to this past June, she took one of the Dance Barre summer camps and she was hooked. We signed up for classes in the fall and we feel like it helped transform her.
The Dance Barre has the best staff and most beautiful space. They also offer the space for private events. We hosted our daughter's 6th Birthday Party and the kids loved it. It is huge and had plenty of space for running around in addition to the planned party activities.
The Dance Barre has the most amazing teachers. They are extremely dedicated to teaching good technique and for their dancers to have a solid foundation. They are so good with children and always maintain a fun, positive, and healthy atmosphere.
Adult ballet at The Dance Barre HTX
The Dance Barre HTX runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Dance Barre HTX
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.
