From the reviews
Our 8 year old daughter is a member of the Wynd too program at the Well Center and I cannot properly express just how impressed I am with the Wynd program and The Well Center. They have truly considered every aspect of dancers of every age.
When we left our old studio my daughter wasn't sure she loved dance anymore. From her first movement on the dance floor with Wynd dance program you could see the light come back. I could never thank everyone at Wynd Dance for all that they do for young dancers.
I absolutely love taking class here! I feel like as an adult, it is difficult to find a space that is both nurturing and intense. I feel like The Well is the perfect balance of both and is the best place to develop my artistry and movement style.
The Well is the BEST! Their advanced classes are challenging, yet still welcoming for anyone, creative, and thoughtfully taught! It is one of the only places in Columbus that offers advanced classes, welcomes adults, and offers many different styles of dance. They have great prices for class and class pass options.
Your first ballet class at The Well Center for Movement & Dance, home of Whirlwind Dance & The WyND Program
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.
