5 Tips For a Successful First Dance Class
At The Dance Network, we know that a child's first dance class is a very special event!
Whether your dancer has been asking for months or you're sharing your favorite childhood experience with them, emotions tend to run high on the first day. We want to make sure that you and your student have a positive experience.

Here are 5 tips for a successful first dance class
1) Get Acquainted with the Studio
Call to schedule a tour so you and your child can familiarize yourself with our studio! To call, click here!
2) Arrive a Few Minutes Early
It's best to arrive about 10 minutes early to go to the bathroom, put dance shoes on, and acclimate your child to the studio environment.
Our studio is located in the El Mercado Shopping Center at 4141 State Street, Suite A4, Santa Barbara.
3) Bring Them Fed and Rested
Make sure your child eats a snack before dance class - a hungry dancer is not a happy dancer.
4) Buy Shoes and Apparel Ahead of Time
We don't expect you to have everything for your first class. However, buying dance clothes and shoes will get your child excited about dance class and make them feel more confident! To learn more about the dance wear we sell at our studio, give us a call or email us!
5) Choose a Class on a 'Light' School Day
For most dancers, a dance class is the best way to blow off steam and express themselves. Taking a dance class on a day when most homework is given will create a stressful experience, so make sure to plan dance classes according to your dancers school schedule.
If you have any other questions, feel free to email us and we would be happy to help! We look forward to giving your dancer an enjoyable first dance class. See you soon!
