From the reviews

My daughter danced at this studio for 15 years as a young girl and now dances there as an adult. I have also taken two classes. I have nothing but good things to say about this studio. When you first walk in you notice right away that the entire place is clean and maintained. The dance floors are new.

Decades ago my mother picked this studio for me to dance at and I’m very glad she did. They offer all sorts of dance classes, but tap is my favorite. This family friendly studio has helped shaped me into the person I am today. The instructors are very supportive and want to see you succeed.

This studio is fabulous!!!!! I personally danced here when I was 12 and now my two daughters 9 and 5 are dancing (started at 3 years) and we absolutely love all the teachers and what this studio offers. Everyone is family here and it's such a wonderful place to be a part of!!

Your first ballet class at The Dance Centre

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.
