From the reviews

I have been a grandmother, mother and student at Wings for almost 9 years. I have seen it grow from a 1 studio facility to 5. Every year the number of students increase from very young to Seniors. I think the reason is because of the love the studio was built with. It’s always a large family atmosphere.

Our family feels very lucky to have found Wings Dance Studio! The environment is positive and always pushing dancers to be better. The classes, teaching approach and costumes are age appropriate. And dancers who are in recreational classes rather than the competative team are still valued.

I LOVE Wings Dance Studio! My daughter, Mallory, is in Ms. Shannon's class and dances all over the house showing of her new moves! :)

Your first ballet class at Wings Dance Studio

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.
