From the reviews
Our daughters have been at Turning Pointe Dance since September 2008. We have been truly blessed by the amazing teachers there. It is a wonderful, loving environment and they care about each individual child. We also love the huge variety of dance they offer at the studio.
I honestly cannot recommend this dance studio enough! I have had no experience with dance but wanted to find a hobby that would help me stay in shape and decided on the Beginning Adult Ballet. This can be intimidating as an older student, but the staff have done such a great job making me comfortable to learn.
My recently graduated daughter has been dancing at Turning Pointe Dance for many years. We switched studios when she was 10 after seeing the need for a more safe and supportive environment.
My daughter has been at Turning Pointe since 2012, and this has been such a positive place of community for her ever since. She's about to start high school, and I can attribute so very much of her confidence, servant's heart, and love of life to her experience at Turning Pointe.
Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe Dance
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.
