My family and I absolutely love the Tia Russell Dance studio. Best dance school around.
Amazing dance studio this TRDS! We absolutely LOVE it. My daughter was a late starter in her classes and afraid she would not be able to catch up to speed with her classmates.....Needless to say with the perseverance and skill of her instructors Ms. Tia and Mr. Davon she was taught up to speed.

Your first ballet class at Tia Russell Dance Studio
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.
