From the reviews
One of the best dance studios in the area. The owner Connie is the nicest person in the world, Ms. Lauren has 30 years of dance experience and Ms. Lindsey has been dancing forever as well. If you are looking to get your child into dance, this is the school.

We absolutely love this dance studio! My daughter has grown so much—not only as a dancer, but also in her confidence and love for being part of a team. The teachers truly go above and beyond for every child and make each dancer feel included, supported, and valued.
Our experience at the dance department has been amazing! From the owner to the instructors, they all are so kind and compassionate! It truly is a family! We highly recommend the dance department!
Your first ballet class at The Dance Department
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.
