FAQ: Choosing Your Dance Style
Q: Can I try more than one dance style?
Absolutely! Dance is all about expression, and you’re not limited to one style. We always encourage students to explore different styles and see what they enjoy most. Ballet on Mondays, Jazz on Thursdays—why not?
Q: What if I’m not flexible at all? Can I still do ballet or lyrical?
Yes! Flexibility can be improved over time, so don’t let that stop you from trying styles like ballet or lyrical. Our teachers will guide you through stretches and movements to help you grow more flexible as you progress.
Q: My child is really shy—what’s a good style to start with?
Ballet is a great choice for shy dancers as it provides structure and helps build confidence in small, manageable steps. Jazz and lyrical can also be great for those looking to express themselves more openly over time.
Q: Do I need special shoes or clothes for class?
For most classes, comfy clothes that allow you to move are perfect! Some styles, like ballet, require specific footwear (like ballet shoes), but we’ll let you know what you need before class starts.
Q: What if I don’t want to perform in front of others?
No problem! Many of our classes focus on the joy of movement rather than performance. Acro, Lyrical, and even beginner Jazz classes can be a great way to enjoy dancing without the pressure of performing on stage.
Q: What if I just want to have fun and not worry about getting the steps right?
Hip Hop or Contemporary is our recommendation! These classes are all about moving your body to the music without worrying about technique. Just follow along, have fun, and enjoy the workout!
