From the reviews
We love the Kirk Academy!! My daughter has learned so much here! Dave is an amazing gymnastics coach and takes the time to really help the kids improve and be the best gymnast they can be. My daughter loves Danika! She is an excellent ballet teacher.
If you want your kid to work hard, get great exercise, and LOVE going to gymnastics/tumbling/parkour then go here. My son has been going here for years. He looks forward to it everyweek. Dave is so good with the boys. He teaches discipline and hard work. Dave is also fun!
The owners Dave and Danica are excellent at what they do. Both are great with children. My daughter had fun in Dave's gymnastics class and learned a lot of new skills. He is very positive, full of energy, motivational and fun. The kids love him! Danica also has taught my daughter ballet.
I had two of my kids go to the Kirk Academy. I loved the way they gave individual attention to each child. The teachers were upbeat and made the kids feel comfortable. After just a few weeks my kids were able to do skills they could not do when they started.
Your first ballet class at The Kirk Academy of Dance & Gymnastics
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.
