Helpful Hints for First Time Dancers
For new young dancers, the excitement of being in the studio with all of the activity can be overwhelming. It’s not unusual for it to take a class or two for the student to become comfortable and confident. We want dance to be a positive experience for everyone involved.
For older first-time dancers we ask that they relax, listen, do their best, and have fun!
The class descriptions are a helpful guideline.
In order to have a positive and successful experience, dancers need to be placed at the correct level for their skills and age.
