From the reviews

I couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had at Thrive. They hit an incredible balance between pushing kids to be their best, but still giving them the chance to exist as kids.

★★★★★ — Sara, Aug 2023

Our family has been involved with Thrive for a couple years now and we have had a wonderful experience through both regular classes and summer camp programs. The staff and other families are so welcoming and encouraging. The dance studio is fun and low stress. My girls love the opportunity to perform on stage as well!

★★★★★ — Amy, Aug 2023

I have really enjoyed my daughters short time with Thrive, and we are excited to join again next year. My daughter attends with her friend and it is so nice for them to have the opportunity to dance together. I appreciate the more casual approach for those starting out, makes it less intimidating.

Your first ballet class at Thrive Performing Arts Tri-Cities

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.
