As Dance Instructors for over 50 years (combined), Laura and I feel it is very important to find the right studio for your child or yourself. We always want the best education, but when it comes to dancing, many feel choosing a dance studio is not as important. Going down the street to the nearest studio is easy and convenient but may not be the best decision. Checking out dance schools for the quality of their teachers, their accreditation, class size, and price are paramount. The most important element in a dance studio is the teaching staff. Look for teachers who are accredited through dance accrediting organizations. These teachers have credentials behind them as they have been tested and approved. Look for teachers who are concerned about teaching proper technique not just steps in dancing. Good technique can make or break a student. Remember, you get what you pay for, so less isn't always better.
