From the reviews

This studio is a great place for children of all ages. Our teachers focus on our abilities and give us whatever we need to improve on our dancing. We compete together as a family and the bonds formed as a group are unbreakable. The dance place is truly a place to send your child if u want them to be professionals.

If you are wondering if the dance place burnt down, don't worry because it didn't. That was the old studio space that we had. We have an even larger space now in the same space as well as a space in bellemore! The dance place is an amazing place for dancers! We train our own dancers and compete in competition together!

★★★★★ — Nicolette, Aug 2017

As a first time mom interested in enrolling their child in activities, I cannot rave enough about how informative, available, and incredibly helpful the Dance Place has been with communicating with me and helping me make decisions along the way.

Your first ballet class at The Dance Place

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.
