From the reviews
My daughters attend dance class here. They are on the competitive dance team and take ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, and acro. Beautiful facilities and great teachers. Angela, the owner, is the best! We were super impressed by recital last year and the amazing progress our daughters made throughout the year.
My two girls love the studio. They had Ballet, Hip Hop, Tap and Lyrical lessons. All their teachers have been amazing!

Joined WCDC back in 2020 and it's been part of our weekly routine ever since. One part time Hip Hopper, another full-time in the company. The kids love it and it keeps them busy!
Adult ballet at West Coast Dance Conservatory - Burlingame
West Coast Dance Conservatory - Burlingame runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 West Coast Dance Conservatory - Burlingame
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.
