From the reviews
The Dance Center is a great dance studio. I had competed a season here and it was great. They have good teachers and effective summer camps. It is over all a great dance studio and they do mostly every style you can think of.
This place is the ultimate for youth dance! Beginning ballet to Lyrical and Contemporary, they offer it all. A child can grow up here, learn, connect and have fun! Ms Kirsten is probably my favorite for anyone new ... But really all the teachers are great, there is a fit for everyone.
Very dedicated & caring. All safety protocols followed while giving the dancers a mental break & healthy outlet with online schooling.
The Dance Center is an amazing place for kids to learn and thrive. The staff are friendly, and promote a healthy atmosphere.
Your first ballet class at The Dance Center
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.
