From the reviews

Dance is so good for everyone! Very flexible hours and numerous class times. Sharon, the owner and tap instructor, makes learning dance fun and accessible. She is very kind and patient. I was shocked to find that I was one of the youngest students in my beginner class. Clogging was added last year.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Aug 2018

U Can Dance is a hidden gem in the Blue Ridge Mountains for dance lovers. I started taking classes this summer and am now continually in the Fall. As a professional performer who wanted to get back into dance and try new styles this has been an amazing fit. All the instructors are kind, accepting but challenging.

★★★★★ — Amber, Sep 2024

We sent our little one here once she had her 4th birthday last summer. She got attached to dancing & Ms. Sharon right away. Later on she had trouble adjusting herself when more kids joining in fall semester, but Ms. Sharon was super patient and helpful to make her continue. Mr.

★★★★★ — Shu, May 2022

My daughter is starting her fourth year with U Can Dance. She can't get enough. She just started taking three classes this season because she loves it so much. Sharon and her team of instructors are awesome! They provide a fun laid back atomosphere for the girls to learn and grow into the dancers they are meant to be.

Adult ballet at U Can Dance LLC

U Can Dance LLC runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.

Your first ballet class at U Can Dance LLC

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
