Stretch Class on Sundays with Jazmine is excellent! The atmosphere is very calming as we start off with breath work. Then we go into a series of stretches that work our whole body. It's challenging but Jazmine demonstrates modified stretches as well. This is really good for stiff joints and helps with mobility and flexibility. I highly recommend this class and this dance school for adult women.

Wonderful beginning ballet classes. While I took dance as a child and teen, it was casual and I didn't really develop skill. Having just turned 60, I decided to try again. The quality of the classes, the conscientious professional manner of Alyssa and Raedya, the kindness of the other dancers--an impressive studio.

I wish I had started classes sooner! I hesitated for a while but it’s easy to just try a class or watch one from the lobby if you are on the fence. The teachers are great, classes are challenging yet welcoming and it’s a great community of friendly people here. So grateful that SCD exists ♥️♥️♥️
