From the reviews

Instructors and staff are fantastic! Some of the best gymnastics classes in the area.

★★★★★ — Kristin, Jun 2016

Staff and teachers are great! We have used this for three different sets of grandchildren. It gave them a great start in academics, social activities, and heathly exercise as well as great background for dance and gymnastics. Teachers are great at not only teaching but building confidence in children.

★★★★★ — Larson, Jan 2019

Great gymnastics and dance programs! My five year old has been going for two years now. The GymFest was so fun in June last year. This is our first year with dance here, too. So far, so great! We do have to arrive early to get seating in the gymnastics viewing area. Wish that were easier.

★★★★★ — Deanna, Feb 2024

My kids have been going here for a few years and absolutely love it! They offer a very diverse range of classes and levels of experience. Their customer service has always been A+. Parents night out is a huge plus for us parents without family to watch our kiddos for date nights.

Your first ballet class at Westside Dance & Gymnastics

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.
