From the reviews
My daughter has been here for 3 years now and we love it!!! The teachers are amazing. The dance comps are so fun to watch and always brings me joy watching my daughter and her fellow dancers compete on stage. I feel there is no better dance center and they represent NWA very well and with the upmost respect.
My daughter has balance and coordination issues, along with trouble memorizing things. I was looking for a place that made her feel included and gave her the ability to be “normal”. She has officially found “her people”.
TPDC is one of my daughter’s favorite places to go to. She looks forward to attending her classes and dancing away. This is our second year being there and I am so glad we ran into them. The teachers are AWESOME, and I can tell by how my daughter’s flexibility and moves have gotten better throughout time.
Our family absolutely loves TPDC! Miss Heather is so encouraging and invested in helping all of her dancers be the best that they can be. All of the coaches and staff go above and beyond to take care of our kiddos and help them grow. If you are looking for a safe and welcoming place for your child to dance, this is it!
Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe Dance Center
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.
