From the reviews
Amazing sensitive dancing teachers. They did an incredible job with my daughter building her skills and confidence by creating an welcoming an safe atmosphere. Dancing had a big impact on her self esteem and I could not be more thankful to Dan and Bianca. I highly recommend their studio.
If you want to learn how to dance AND have fun - then this the place for you! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the studio and would recommend it without hesitation! Dan & Bianca are lovely. Warm, welcoming and so encouraging. Happy dancing!!!
I’ve always wanted to take dance classes and to learn the steps and how to connect with a dance partner. From the very first moment I walked into the beautiful Dance Circle studio, I felt welcome and at ease.
Best dance teachers and people I've ever met! First encounter was 16years ago. Bianca and Dan were my first Zumba teachers and made us a wonderful wedding choreography.
Adult ballet at The Dance Circle
The Dance Circle runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 Circle
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.
