From the reviews
My family has been with TDC since 2009. My son danced here first for 5 years when he was in preschool. My daughter started dancing before she was 2. This is her 8th year and she is on the competition team. This studio is so much more than just a dance school. They teach life lessons not just dance steps.
The Dance Center is wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The teachers give their all to the students. Each child is shown so much love and attention as they get involved in dance class. I am so happy that I chose such a special place for my daughter to learn dance. I am now a DANCE MOM🤗
My daughter loves Ballet. The school is awesome. I am a working mom and a new parent for the first time later in life - they were terrific with me and my daughter. They answered my questions, were willing to see if she liked it before we committed. Tanya and the people who run the school are awesome!
Amazing studio, with knowledgeable teachers who can work with any level child. They really bring so much fun and real technical teaching to everything they do.
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.
