From the reviews
My daughter has attended The Dance School for the past 7 1/2 years. She started as a shy, uncoordinated student with very pigeon toed feet. She has blossomed into an extraordinarily skilled and beautiful dancer.
I have had nothing but positive experiences with TDS. They are truly building a "troupe" in Everett, as has been proven by tonight's performance. I have two daughters - one pursuing trad dance and the other more contemporary dance.
The Dance School is amazing. It is so affordable for the quality of instruction. The classes for young children are perfect, the teachers make it really fun and child-focused, while they still work on building skills and endurance.
I seriously can't say enough about how much I love this school. All the teachers are so kind and wonderful. The environment is beautiful and all the students and staff seem so happy. If you haven't tried it out, give it a try. Everyone is so friendly and having so much fun.
Adult ballet at The Dance School
The Dance School runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at The Dance School
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.
