Amazing studio with amazing instructors! This is my second session of beginners ballet and I absolutely love it. The instructor, Megan, is encouraging as well attentive to every student. Not to mention, she's extremely talented and knowledgeable in her craft. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn from scratch, or a seasoned vet looking for someone to help you grow further, I cannot recommend Dovetail Studios enough!

Dovetail Dance has not only provided a wonderful outlet to continue my training post undergrad, but also is a place that I believe the instructors truly love what they are doing. There are multiple classes with varying styles, and each one of them has the best teacher attached to the class to guide and lead the curriculum. Thank you Dovetail Dance!

Jazz hands for Dovetail! My 3 children are so happy here. The teachers are FANTASTIC - dynamic, caring, professional and full of positive energy. My oldest daughter has enjoyed 2 seasons on the competition team and my middle daughter will start competition this fall. The competition program at Dovetail is truly special. Each year the teachers provide fabulous choreography and a respectful learning environment in which the kids thrive! It's been a joy to watch my kids dance at Dovetail.

We had our daughter's rainbow princess ballet 4th birthday party at Dovetail last weekend and still can't get over how absolutely perfect it was! Ms. Andrea taught a 45-minute dance lesson to 18 3 to 5 year olds while the grownups socialized in the comfy lobby. We then had 45 minutes to do a dance party with all the guests, eat a birthday treat, and run around the studio with balloons, scarves, and tutus. Everyone had such a great time! Dovetail was super responsive, provided all the tables and benches, and created a warm, inviting space for families to enjoy. A HUGE thank you to Andrea and Joanna for hosting!
