From the reviews

We have been with TADA for 4 years now, my youngest learned to walk on the studio floor and is now learning to dance her heart out on those same floors! My daughters have learned so much from Sarah and Elizabeth, from respect for others to confidence in who they are!

★★★★★ — Caroline, Jun 2019

This is such an amazing place! From the time we took a tour I knew my daughter would flourish with TADA . It's so much more than a dance studio. The dance instructors arent just teachers . They go above & beyond. They just dont simply teach but they leave a lasting impression on the students.

★★★★★ — Mandy, Jun 2019

As our girls are part of the TADA dance family and have been for a few years now. We cannot say enough about the staff and owners! Having observed different types of dancers and their families coming and going, and having special needs children of my own, I can honestly say TADA isn't just a studio, but a family.

★★★★★ — Kraig, Apr 2019

TADA won the Tally Award as best dance studio for a good reason. This is a studio that will help your child develop her/his talents in a caring and loving manner. The owner and her staff believe dance should be fun and something their students should look forward to.

Your first ballet class at Timberlane Arts and Dance Academy

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.
