From the reviews

My girls have been dancing here for the past 6 years! We love it! Professional teachers, organized studio owner, and the best studio around overall. Must be pretty special, as we drive 1hr each way to class!

We love The DanZe Zone! The studio offers two options for dancers: recreational classes with end of year recital or competition teams for the dancers who are more serious about practicing, learning technique and enjoy a little healthy competition. They generally participate in four competitions in the spring.

My partner and I came here for a dance lesson before our wedding and it was so much fun! We have no idea how to dance and were not going to have a first dance but decided to have a lesson and then decide. The lesson was so much fun and we are now excited for this part of the night! Debbie was amazing.

★★★★★ — Katie, Dec 2021

The DanZe Zone is a great place to learn to dance. The environment is warm and inviting and the teachers have a wonderful knack for knowing how to get the best out of their students. My daughter has danced with them for 3yrs and I feel there is no better place.

Your first ballet class at The DanZe Zone

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.
