“My daughters absolutely love Velocity!”

From the reviews

We are starting our 6th year at Velocity Dance & Theater in the competitive dance program. We absolutely love the studio! The teachers are top notch, the choreography is fabulous and the families are 1 in a million.

★★★★★ — Lesley, Jul 2021

My daughters absolutely love Velocity! Run by an amazing family that makes you feel welcome from day one and keeps you wanting to come back for more. My daughters have especially loved all of the theater classes. Ms Hannah gives so much to the program.

★★★★★ — Leigh, Jul 2021

Smaller studio with great teachers. This studio cares about students and challenges them. Interesting routines. Not run of the mill dance here!

★★★★★ — Melissa, Aug 2021

This will be our daughter’s fifth year with Velocity Dance and Theater. We love this studio! Quality instructors, amazing choreography, and a culture where staff and dancers support and care for each other keeps us coming back. 💚

Your first ballet class at Velocity Dance and Theater

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.
