My daughter has been dancing at Project Dance since she was 3, and it has been such a meaningful part of her childhood. We have loved watching her grow in confidence, creativity, and her love for dance over the years. The instructors are dedicated, encouraging, and truly care about their dancers!

This will be my 3rd year here, and I love it. The instructors pushed you to your limits, and you feel welcomed the minute you step through the door. For pre-professional dance training in the high country, this is the place to go

Your first ballet class at The Space at Project 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.

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.
