From the reviews

This place is busy, all of the time, but that is simply a testament to how well they do things here. Spending several nights here a week I am able to see the joy on the dancers faces, the great dance instructors, and the leadership. Great place for your children to dance if they have any interest!

★★★★★ — Tyler, Dec 2023

My daughters joined Woodbury Dance this year and many things impress me about this studio right off the bat, first the owners and the teachers are outstanding and have been wonderful at making every dancer feel welcome regardless of ability.

★★★★★ — Laura, Nov 2016

As a mom of 4 young children, Woodbury Dance Center was the only choice for us! From the fun and professional instructors to the dedicated and knowledgeable desk staff, WDC is simply the best! They not only create award winning dancers, they are teaching these dancers self-esteem, great discipline and responsibility.

★★★★★ — Desiree, Jul 2012

My daughter never having experience in a group setting at almost 4 years old, did a trial class and loved it. The class was full at the time of her trial, but the teacher requested/allowed her to join anyway!

Your first ballet class at Woodbury 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.

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.
