The Studio: A Dance Center for Adults

I just love this place. It’s a dance studio for adults. Who wants to be tripping over little bun-​heads while trying to take a class? Not me. Great offerings. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Great teachers. Low key environment. I wish I could go more often but it is a nice treat when I can go.

Love this studio. It’s great for just dropping in and taking a class when you can. The contemporary/​lyrical choreographer, Monique, always has unique and fun choreography, as well as being super positive and supportive. If you feel like you need a refresher, still take the class because she always gives an alternate option for choreography that might be too difficult if you haven’t danced for a while (or if you aren’t about floor work. you can always do it standing and not feel weird)
Overall great! I love stopping in for a class when I get a free chance.

This place is the best! I have taken classes here since last August, taught by multiple instructors, and they’ve all been great. Everyone is very supportive and classes are mostly appropriate for any level of dance experience. True beginners will get a great workout and have a fun time and so will more advanced students. I really can’t recommend this studio enough.

After returning to dance after nearly a decade – and I no longer have the body of a flexible tween – there’s no place better than The Studio for an adult trying to regain his or her footing in ballet. The studio itself is spacious and the atmosphere is non-​competitive. The owner/​ballet instructor, Sue, is both entertaining and serious about the craft, and brings a fun sense of humor to the classes which is a relief when you realize a simple relevé is no longer as easy as you thought. She often calls it «choose your own adventure» for the classes, offering simple barre work and floor combinations for us beginners or returners, or will show more complex examples for more advanced students. I’ve never felt out of place practicing the simpler steps next to more advanced dancers, which is really important for me since I couldn’t stand the snickering nature of girls in classes as a kid! It’s also important to note that this studio is LGBT friendly and all genders integrate seamlessly in the classes. Also the changing area/​entryway is small and open, but there is a bathroom for those who need privacy. I suggest pre-​registering to make sure you have a spot in the ballet classes – they’re known to fill up fast! I love coming here and can’t wait to improve my dancing in such an inviting, relaxing place – it’s far better (and cheaper) than therapy.

I’m writing this almost as much to motivate me as to motivate others. I started beginning tap in Spring 2014 and LOVED IT. Loved it! Loved the teacher, loved the other students, loved the whole vibe. Then summer came along and the sunday class time didn’t work with beach/​travel/​vacations schedules so I let it slide (plus I need new tap shoes.)
The Studio has moved (still conveniently located) and I need to get back there!
