From the reviews
My daughter absolutely loves Ms. Christina! She won’t dance for anyone else! The program is so well run, incredibly convenient, and the teachers show their passion for teaching dance to the kiddos. Can’t wait to have the classes start up again next Fall.
The dance instructors were very professional, the show ran very smoothly. The costumes were very beautiful. I was proud to watch all the kids have fun and have confidence on stage. I reccommened "The Gift of Dance!"
Mrs Christina is the best of the best. My daughter is 3 and she's been going to The Gift of Dance for almost a year. She has the best time and looks forward to Tuesday mornings! Thank you Mrs Christina
Mrs. Cristina is so wonderful with my daughter.. I am so so happy we found The gift of Dance!! My daughter is 6yrs old and has never been in dance before.... Mrs. Cristina offered us private lessons so my daughter could learn and catch up to the other girls in time for the fall season to start..
Your first ballet class at The Gift of Dance
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.
