The right studio can make a significant impact on your growth as a dancer, and when looking for a dance studio, there are several important factors to consider. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Determine your goals: Are you looking to learn a specific dance style, improve your fitness, or pursue a professional career in dance? Defining your objectives will help you identify the right studio that caters to your unique requirements.
- Read Reviews: A reputable dance studio will have a positive track record of satisfied students and high-quality instruction. Look for reviews, testimonials, and ratings from past or current students. Word of mouth is also an excellent way to gauge a studio’s reputation.
- Expertise and experience of instructors: Look for a dance studio with highly-trained and experienced instructors who have a passion for dance and a commitment to their students. TMILLY Studio has a range of professional instructors who have the choreography and performance credentials to back their incredible knowledge in dance. Check their social media for experience in dance training, as well as their reputation and the success of their students.
- Research dance styles: There are numerous dance styles out there, from ballet and jazz to hip-hop and salsa. Research various dance styles and find one (or a few) that resonate with you. This will help narrow down your search for studios that specialize in your preferred style(s). You can even try out these dance styles online with TMILLY TV before you decide which one you lean towards more.
- Studio facilities: Take a look at the facilities offered by the studio, including the dance floor(do they have a sprung floor?), mirrors, and sound systems. Make sure the studio is well-maintained and safe, with adequate ventilation and lighting.
- Class sizes and age groups: Consider the size of the classes and the age group they are intended for. Some studios cater to a more mature crowd, while others are more geared towards kids. Is the space large enough to accomodate the class sizes that take place there?
- Class schedules and availability: Check the studio’s class schedules and availability, making sure that they fit with your schedule and availability. Some studios offer classes in the evenings or on weekends, while others may only offer classes during the week. You can check out TMILLY Studio’s Instagram to see what classes we offer throughout each week if you’re in LA!
- Tuition and fees: Compare the fees and tuition costs for different studios and look for one that fits within your budget. Keep in mind that some studios may offer discounts for early registration or multi-class packages. If you’re in LA, come check us out in-person and dance with us!
