From the reviews

My daughter has been dancing here for years, and now friends have joined us. The director is a sweetheart and loves and knows the kids, but also runs a steadily growing studio with great teachers and choreographers.

Camps or classes you can’t go wrong! This studio is a true gem thanks to its leadership from Ms. Michele and awesome teachers like Ms. Tracy! So thankful for the chance to see my daughter flourish here.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Jul 2023

My daughter started at the DanceWorks when she was 3. In just a short 2 years before moving out of state, she learned SO much and really became a good dancer. More importantly, she grew to love dancing and became very confident. She really blossomed and became brave during her time there.

Your first ballet class at The DanceWorks

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.
