From the reviews
Both of my daughters took dance at TDC beginning in 1994 until high school graduation. They both absolutely loved it there. So much so that my oldest daughter, Miss Haylee, is one of the dance teachers♥️
What an amazing studio with owners and teachers who don’t just teach your children to dance, but actually supported how I raised my children, taught them to be better humans and gave them the confidence to face this overwhelming world.
I absolutely love this dance company. My daughter, of whom is 13, absolutely adore her class and her instructor Ms. Haley. Besides the fact that it's convenient to my entire circle with living and working in Madison, AL. It's also a pleasure to have such a great experience so close to home.
The Dance Company is one of the best dance studios in Alabama. My daughter started there at age 3, eventually did competition, and now teaches there. I took adult classes for 28 years and loved every minute. There is a family atmosphere there but also professional.
Adult ballet at The Dance Company, Inc.
The Dance Company, Inc. runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Company, Inc.
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.
