From the reviews
Love this place so much!!! Ballet lovers, this is the best place to make you feel that you are actually dancing and being a creative artist! Personally I have learned a lot from Adrian, Drake, Laura. I wanna say thank all of you.
I've found this school by googling it, I was looking for male ballet class. We were welcomed warmly and tried a class. Loved it. The teachers are Professionals with big P and the athmosphere is supportive, which is a big deal I think. I've been going to this school for a year now and planning to attend more classes.
Really good dance studio, if you are looking for you or someone you know who wants to learn how to dance this is the place my Lil bros been going there for such a long time and becuase of the skills he learned landed him a scholarship at a prestigious college full ride. Deff recomend
Uptown Dance Company has been a huge blessing for our family. WE switched here from another dance studio in Houston and this feels like a family. The staff is kind, encouraging, supportive, and our daughter loves this place. Uptown offers ballet, jazz, tap, and modern to name a few. It is a preprofessional company.
Your first ballet class at Uptown Dance Centre
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.
