“She adores every single staff member at this studio and is provided with the same kindness, opportunities, and phenomenal training as every other dancer.”

From the reviews
After another experience at different dance studio that was somewhat disorganized and chaotic, we were so grateful to find this gem! From the very beginning, everything about this studio has been professional, warm, and incredibly well-run.
I can assure anyone that this studio does NOT treat students differently because of skin color. I've been involved with this studio, as a parent, for a decade. One of my children is half African American, has been on a competition team for 3 years (3 in regular classes before that) and has never ONCE been treated…
My girls go here and it’s absolutely fabulous. Great staff and coaches. Both of my daughters are in teams for gymnastics. They love it and look forward to coming to class every week. We are there 4x/week. My youngest is in dance as well and we love to participate in the recital. Great place to grow and learn.
My mom knows what she’s doing folks. Amazing place, not only for dance, but to grow and get better as a person. You won’t just learn a lot about dance. You’ll learn a lot about life too.
Your first ballet class at The Dance Refinery
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.
