How to Pick the Best Dance Studio

Choosing the right dance school is an important decision that can have a significant impact on your dancing skills and enjoyment. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a dance school:


  1. Type of dance: Determine what style of dance you are interested in and look for schools that specialize in that particular style. Some schools offer a variety of dance styles, while others focus on one or two.
  2. Instructor qualifications: Look for schools with qualified and experienced instructors. Research the instructors’ credentials and experience to ensure that they are knowledgeable and skilled in their field.
  3. Class size and level: Consider the size of the classes and the level of the students. A smaller class size can allow for more individual attention, while larger classes may provide a more social atmosphere. Also, make sure the class level is appropriate for your skill level.
  4. Facilities: Check the dance studio’s facilities to make sure they are suitable for the type of dance you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in ballet, the studio should have a barre, mirrors, and a proper flooring.
  5. Performance opportunities: Look for a dance school that offers performance opportunities. This can be a great way to showcase your skills and gain experience.
  6. Cost: Consider the cost of tuition and any additional fees such as costume fees, recital fees, or competition fees. Make sure the cost fits within your budget.
  7. Location and schedule: Choose a dance school that is convenient for you in terms of location and schedule. Consider the distance you will need to travel and the time commitment required for classes and performances.

Be sure to also check the studios mission statement to see if it aligns with your values. Many studios may offer trial lessons, don't be afraid to try out classes at various different studios! 


By considering these factors, you can choose the right dance school that fits your needs and interests, and can help you achieve your dancing goals.
