From the reviews
My 13 year old daughter started dancing at Turning Pointe Academy of Dance (TPAD) when she was 3. We chose TPAD after researching and trying some other summer dance camps.
We absolutely love Turning Pointe! Contrary to a couple of other negative reviews, we have been with the studio for 8 years and it has always been extremely well organized and professional. Costumes and music selections are appropriate for children and teens.
My preschool age daughter just completed her first year as a TPAD dancer and we could not be more thrilled with their program! At her first recital over the weekend our entire family was so impressed at the inclusion of young dancers of all ages, genders, and skill levels!
After trying multiple dance studios in the area over the last 8 years, this is where we landed for our daughter. We have been here for a few years now and only have good things to say. Dianna does such an amazing job running the studio while keeping the standards for instruction, inclusion, comfort, and community high.
Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe Academy of Dance Maryville Il
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.
