From the reviews
My daughter had been attending Turning Pointe for several years now. The instructors are all excellent and do a great job of teaching a variety of dances techniques to students of all ages.
My 6 year old daughter started dancing here for the first time about two months ago and just loves it! It's a very nice studio with wonderful instructors.
My dancers have studied here for over five years. The instruction is good and the coaches are good people that I trust as role models for my dancers. The studio, teams, and individual dancers regularly take home top honors at all levels of competition.
This place is terrific. The instructors, the front desk. I love being a part of their family. They fill up fast; I was reluctant to post this because I need those spots to stay open for me, lol
Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe 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.
