Taking dance classes at a dance studio is a rite of passage for many children. And it’s easy to see why. Dance combines physical movement with creative expression, teaches skills like self-control and teamwork that can come in handy later in life…and there are usually really cute costumes. It’s kind of the perfect activity. But finding the perfect class can be a little tougher.
Schedules, ages and types of dance play a big part in how you choose the right class. Likewise, some dancers are more interested in competitive dances, while others are in it for the recreational aspects. With that being said, the first step to finding the right dance studio or class for your dancers is knowing the options. We’ve researched local dance studios in the Richmond area to provide a list of some of the top studios, along with the ages, classes and types of dance they cater to.
