When our three year old expressed an interest in taking dance classes, we had NO idea where to…read morestart. Neither of us is gifted beyond general swaying to the music and the occasional cheesy move like the Running Man or the Sprinkler Dance. We started looking for a place that would be supportive and constructive which turned out to be a real challenge. A lot of the studios around here are HYPER competitive, complete with crazy dance moms and emotional teen/tweens. Some didn't even bother to respond to our inquires about enrolling our son. We were SO fortunate to find this studio! Emily and her staff are caring, loving and supportive - very committed to fostering an environment where all the kids are loved and instructed well through community group practices - no matter the level of talent. A very good spot for parents that want to let their kid explore without committing them before age 5 to some sort of serious dance regime. Our son has been taking the 3 year old class and looks forward to it every week, and we've made a lot of good parent friends too. I'd recommend this place to anyone with a young kiddo expressing an interest in dance.

My son started dance class last year. He did the ballet program, and has recently started the jazz…read moreprogram. MIss Emily runs the school efficiently, and she and the other instructors are fantastic with the kids. The classes provide a great balance between real instructional time and free or partially structured play time. They are clearly committed to providing attention to every child through group activities, but also on a one-on-one basis when necessary. Like every kid my son is very physical and active, and while I foresee sports and/or martial arts in his future, I think dance is a great place to start. He loves it, gives us frequent mini dance recitals at home to show off his moves, and then participates in the big recital put on at the end of the class. The show at the end of the first class was a performance of 'Alice in Wonderland.' He played a canary, had a little dance solo, and ended his time with an ad libbed hulk-smash move that brought down the house. His current bff he met in this class. Her parents agree with us that it's really well run and beneficial for them. They love coming. It's a big win all around. I definitely recommend this class to anyone interested.

With tons of construction going on around this place it is a maze to get in here, but out of a…read moregauntlet of construction trucks emerges a decent parking lot and modern building called the Riverview Gymnastics Center. This is where Newport News Parks and Recreation offers affordable dance and gymnastics instruction. The gym seems fully equipped with everything a student would need to begin mastery of gymnastics. The class for 3 and 4 year olds has 2 very hands on instructors. Parents and observers sit outside the gymnasium and view through safety glass. The premises is staffed at entry and seems very clean and well managed. I imagine this is a hidden gem in Newport News for those who want to pursue dance or gymnastics instruction.
