★★★★★ — Jaime, May 2019

Charlie and Stephanie run the best dance studio in CR, and probably the midwest. Their love for teaching dance and the love for these kids is one of the many reasons they continue to grow each year. We transferred from another studio about 8 years ago and were blown away by this group. Its been fun watching them grow.

★★★★★ — Joe, Jun 2019

I love dancing at the Dancers Edge. Every time I walk through the door, it feels like I have come home.

★★★★★ — Holly, Dec 2016

We've only been at The Dancer's Edge for two years now, but I grew up dancing and was a TA back in the day, so I'm aware of a lot of studios in the area and the ins and outs. Charlie and Stephanie are just good people providing a fabulous dance experience, and the other teachers are equally fun and interesting.

Your first ballet class at The Dancer's EDGE

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.
