From the reviews

My little girls love dancing here. Other than at home, they are the most comfortable at the studio. The staff and teachers love them like their own, and the quality of instruction is top notch. I highly recommend TDC to anyone looking for a dance studio in the area.

★★★★★ — Lindsay, Mar 2019

Our daughter has had a wonderful experience with TDC for several years. They focus on inspiring a love for dance while developing natural talent and interests. The studio, teachers and staff offer a welcoming environment for dancers of all abilities and ages.

★★★★★ — Heather, Aug 2019

I've been going to this studio for 12 years, and I've been competing for 9 years, and this studio is like my second home! So many of my best friends I've been at TDC and they're all like my second family. TDC has great training and all of the teachers are absolutely amazing!

★★★★★ — Charlotte, Aug 2019

Your first ballet class at Theater Dance Center

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.
