“I can do advanced classes but also try new styles at a beginner level.”
From the reviews
Love this studio. Very encouraging space with very talented teachers. Students of all levels. No fuss either -- just drop in when you feel like it and come as you are. So thankful to have somewhere that I can dance as an adult, as many other studios are tailored to 18 and under.
Love Juliana’s class, interesting and can learn a lot! Also, really hope dance center can open at Seattle, save much commute then.
I tried a bunch of studios and feel the most at home at westlake! I can do advanced classes but also try new styles at a beginner level. Highly recommend!
Have taken their modern, ballet and hip hop classes. Great instructors and really friendly, fun environment. Free parking is available too.
Your first ballet class at Westlake 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.
