What is the best way to choose what dance place to take dancing lessons at? I am thinking about tap, ballet, and hip hop, and I have found several places to dance at through the phone book and I was wondering what is the best way to choose where to go? I'm was a figure skater until I had an injury which hasn't allowed me to skate (I'm trying to get back into it, but recovery had been hard) so this is all so different to me!!
Ask around to different people see what they have to say. Ask if you could take a tour of the dance studio and ask some questions like How many students are in a class? What type of floors do you have? (this is very important because if they just have regular floor then you could jam a knee or something like that. A spring floor of some sort is the best) How do you categorize the classes? Who will be teaching the class? Like what is their background. What is the price for classes? Some studios offer a free class trial. Any other questions that you could thing of ask them because dance can be expensive so you want to make sure you are at the very best studio for you. Also since it is summer, see if the studio has a summer class that you could take. Hope I helped in making your decision!

It depends what kind of studio you're looking for. If you want to dance just for fun, then just about anywhere that you like should be fine. If you are looking for a more serious, competitive school, then you probably want to look a little harder. Technique is really important (if you want to pursue dance, or just dance correctly for that matter) for all types of dance but mostly for ballet. A good way to see if you like the place or not is to check out their website, but the best way is always to check out the school yourself. Many studios offer open houses, and some allow you to watch a class to see if you like it. Whatever you choose, have fun dancing and good luck!
Hope I helped.
P.S. I've taken all those dance styles and more and they're all really fun (:

They should all let you at least observe a class at the studio. Observe and go with the one that best fits your style.
