From the reviews

We arrived in Columbus, MS 5 years ago and stumbled upon the Wherehouse as a place for our girls to dance as a fun after school activity. Right away I noticed that this was no ordinary dance studio. Everyone was so kind and so passionate about dance!

We love WHEREhouse Dance Company! Excellent instructors with award-winning choreography. The competition team has been a great experience for both of my kids. Through WHEREhouse Dance Company they have been given many amazing opportunities such as auditioning with a talent scout from NYC and workshops given by guest…

★★★★★ — Chloe, Oct 2016

My 2yr old granddaughter goes to dance here on Mondays and she loves it. The teachers are so sweet and good with the kids. They are very good about taking precautions for covid as they check temps and sanitize each child's hands upon entering. We are looking so forward to her dance recital in the spring!

★★★★★ — Laurie, Jan 2021

What an amazing family oriented dance studio. I have seen my niece's and nephew grow as dancers over the last few years. The owners of The Wherehouse are wonderful people with a love for dance and kids! The instructors are knowledgeable and kind and are extremely patient with the kids as they learn.

Your first ballet class at WHEREHOUSE Dance Company

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.
