From the reviews
I have danced here for about a decade. All of the costumes and dances are very age appropriate. Everyone is so nice and supportive. It's just like one big family. This studio is like a second home.
The Wichita Children's Theatre has been a part of my sons life since he was 3 years old. He has taken many classes there over the years and has been in countless performances. Monica Flynn and her team are a second family to us. I am thankful that we got him involved at such a young age as it has shaped his life.
WCDTC is an excellent place for children's dance and theater growth. My daughter has been part of their family for 3 years and is consistently challenged, intrigued and engaged. I would highly recommend them for dance and acting classes for all ages!
This is an amazing theater and dance school! Our kids have danced and acted with WCTDC for years and we can not think of a place that would better serve our kids' creative needs. Thoughtful, supportive and encouraging teachers (not to mention talented!), and shows and performances for everyone in the family.
Your first ballet class at Wichita Children's Theatre & 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.
