From the reviews

As a student at WSDC for 15 years and now a teacher, I’ve only had positive experiences. Great, professional dance studio with a wonderful staff educating the students on the arts. Studio morale is high and students develop great friendships here that have lasted life times (I know from personal experience).

★★★★★ — Jamie, Jun 2022

West Side is a highly-regarded dance center in the tri-state area by dance professionals and families alike. The director provides the most premium choreographers for her students, and offers an array of dance styles and fitness classes in her class schedule.

★★★★★ — Molly, Jun 2022

My 5 yr old started with WSDC for Combo and she thoroughly enjoyed her weekly classes with Ms. Laurie. They have a fantastic studio and very helpful staff and colleagues. The icing was the year end recital which was very professionally executed.

★★★★★ — Swethapriya, Aug 2022

This studio has been such a great find for my daughter! The owner is very kind and accommodating. Ms.Laurie was amazing with the 3-5 age range, the kids learned a lot and got the most out of every class. We can't wait for another year at WSDC!

Your first ballet class at West Side 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.

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.
