From the reviews
My daughter decided she didn't want to dance for the year, not only did they give me no hassle but they didn't charge me a cancellation fee and refunded me the money. The whole experience even through registration was easy and awesome, thanks you guys keep up the good work
As a mom, I recommend this atmosphere that is designed and tailored for each class and dancer. The natural comfort of many friends whirling towards the same goal with discipline is fundamental for confidence and growing up! I would choose WMDC above gymnastics area, or other sports.
Because my daughter can do something to do over the summer and she loves to dance
Absolutely love this place. This is both my daughter‘s second year there. Amazing staff very friendly and my girls absolutely love it.
Your first ballet class at West Michigan Dance Center
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.
