What should I wear to a dance class?

Ballet and jazz require form-fitting clothes so your form and posture is visible.
Wear loose, comfortable clothes and shoes to contemporary or street classes.
Wear fitness or leisure clothes and tap shoes to tap dance lessons.
Wear casual clothes, smooth-soled shoes, or dresses to ballroom, tango, or salsa classes.

Reviews for Norwalk dance lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Norwalk area.

Anne D.

I have trained with many dance instructors as an amateur dance student and I can without a doubt say that my dancing improved 100% while working with Alex. We worked together for several years and danced several styles including International Ballroom, American Smooth and Rhythm, Social, and numerous showcases. My dancing and performance abilities improved and this resulted in a significant increase in my competitive results and positive feedback from judges and coaches. Alex is able to break down areas of difficulty and give memorable analogies to assist with the learning process. I have been blessed to work with him!

Vuk was my first dance instructor. I started at 60 years of age at a time that was very difficult in my life . He made things easier and taught me well. Gave me a solid foundation of ballroom dancing. Gave me the courage and strength to perform in a showcase and compete on the dancefloor. His easy manner and "you can do anything" attitude has not only made dancing a part of my life but has given me the insight to look at other thing that seemed beyond my grasp and try my hand at them. He is an amazing young man who is a great teacher and dancer.

Phillip is a caring and excellent teacher for people of all ages and abilities. He is very knowledgeable in dance technique but is able break it down in ways that are easy to understand for people who are new to dance. His classes are challenging in the best way and I've improved in areas I didn't think I could at my age.

Aizhane K.

She was very accommodating with my level of dance. I would consider my self a bit intermediate when it come to dance. But she has taught people that have no idea how to really dance or don’t have the confidence to dance (like myself) and brings them out of their shell. She’s very patient with people when teaching choreography and makes sure that everyone is on the same page before moving on.

Anthony and Staci were very thorough in their explanation of technique, and their combinations reflected their musicality and diverse backgrounds in dance. All of us really enjoyed their classes!
