From the reviews
A professional, yet warm and welcoming, family founded and run business. My daughter is always excited for class and additional events they have had more recently like a Halloween party and an ornament making party. She always says how much fun she has.
There are many dance schools in Toms River and I wasn’t sure where to enroll my 6 and 4 year old kids. After calling a few places, I ended up going with The Dance Centre (even though it is further from where we live) because they were so responsive and welcoming on the phone. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
The dance instructors here are friendly and welcoming to those of all abilities and their competition teams are always bringing home awards. My son looks forward to his dance day every week and celebrates it as if it is a party occasion as opposed to a chore or something of the likes, and that right there should tell…
I dance here I have been dancing since I was 2. I have the most amazing dance family I could ever ask for! The best studio everrrr!
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.
