From the reviews

I simply cannot recommend The Dance Department enough. My son has been a part of the boys hip hop group for a few years and adores it. The boys are great with one another and they've become quite the team over the last 2 years.

My son and daughter joined the Dance Department 3 years ago when they now started… they have helped my kids to build confidence and believe in themselves, they challenge them while making sure each class is FUN!

★★★★★ — Shalimar, May 2024

We have been dancing with TDD for about 5 years and love it. Our daughter always has so much fun. It's the best place for kids to dance in Windsor hands down. It's easy, fun, and no pressure. Ms Nicole and Ms Miranda are so understanding and friendly. They are also great teachers for the kids.

★★★★★ — Danny, Sep 2025

This is our fourth year with The Dance Department and I'm so glad to have my daughter in an inclusive, supportive, non-competitive dance environment where the emphasis is on fostering a love of dance. Not only are the Dance Department instructors welcoming and kind, but the community of parents is as well.

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.

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.
