From the reviews

They are great with the kids! My son loves going to ballroom and it has really helped his coordination. I appreciate their commitment to wholesome dance moves, music and modest costumes.

★★★★★ — Karin, Apr 2021

Annette and Emily are fantastic! We have had children at the studio for three years. Next year five of our children will be dancing there. My boys signed up for ballroom dancing with a lot of hesitation but they loved it from day one due to Emily's amazing teaching.

★★★★★ — Stefanie, Jun 2019

We have loved Dance Conservatory. My son was on 4 dance teams this year. Emily was great about working with my son, caring for his needs during the year. Dance Conservatory has built a great team. They care about the children, the music they dance to, the costumes they use.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Apr 2022

This has been our first year with Dance Conservatory. We have loved that our son has learned so much in such a short amount of time without feeling as though his classes and competitions are too time consuming- they've been perfect to fit our schedule.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Apr 2021

Your first ballet class at The Dance Conservatory

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.
