From the reviews
My daughter had been going since she was 3. She is now 6! She loves all the teachers and girls and wouldn't dream of having her go anywhere else. Fingers Crossed for her to make their amazing dance team!
TPDC\Ignite Dance Company is amazing! My daughter has been going since she was 1 1/2 years old. This fall she will start her 9th season! Time flies when you are having fun! She started out in recreational dance (TPDC) and has now been on the Ignite Competitive Team in her 3rd year.
I can not say enough about the positive experience my daughter has had at TPDC. She started dance in the pre dance program when she was four years old and was hooked! She soon tried out as a 5 year old for the competitive dance team, Ignite and has been a member ever since.
If I can give 10 stars I would! This was our first time at the studio and our daughter was in the toddler class at the Lockport location. Her teacher - Miss. Chrissy - is an awesome and an amazing teacher.
Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe Dance Company Lockport
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.
