From the reviews

The best dance experience ever! Forget all the fluff--this is a legitimate dance school. If you have a serious dancer on your hands, VDT is the place to be! I can't thank them enough for providing my daughter such a quality dance experience! Thanks VDT!

★★★★★ — Sandra, Sep 2017

I am attending belly dance classes conducted by Sara @ Valley Dance Theatre. She is very friendly, helping, cool and welcoming. A dance class in the Friday evening after a hectic week is definitely a good relaxation.

Your first ballet class at Valley Dance Theatre

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.
