How to Prepare for Your First Dance Class

At Relevé Dance Company®, we know that the first day of dance is both exciting and nerve-wracking — for dancers and parents alike. Here's how to make the most of your child's first class:

1. Dress the Part

Check your welcome email or call the studio to confirm what to wear. Leotards, tights, and proper shoes (ballet, jazz, or tap) help your dancer feel confident and prepared.

2. Arrive Early

Give yourself time to get settled, meet the instructor, and allow your child to adjust to the new space.

3. Bring Water & a Positive Attitude

Hydration is key — and so is encouragement. Remind your child that everyone is learning and it's okay to make mistakes.

4. Know What to Expect

Classes begin with warm-ups and progress into technique and fun choreography. Parents can observe or wait in designated areas.
