Hi everyone! Ok, yes. Its a long review. But it is ABSOLUTELY necessary haha. First off, St Lucie Dance Theatre is a very very awesome studio. Extremely clean, professional, organized and all their staff is always engaging with students its great to see. Btw Gina and Tina are always a breath of fresh air when you walk in and they greet you at desk. ***REVIEW BELOW ABOUT ADULT GROUP CLASS AND PRIVATE LESSON*** Im a beginner adult figure skater, and I needed help becoming more graceful on the ice, so I started taking the Tuesday Adult group classes and also some private ballet lessons. The other adults in the class are mixed levels so I was a bit nervous. But they are all sooo friendly and welcoming. Its so hard finding beginner friendly adult ballet classes in the area. However, Mrs Rebecca and this class are truly fantastic! What I appreciate most is how thoroughly Mrs Rebecca teaches the classes and private lessons. She does not just tell you what to do — she breaks everything down and explains why ballet movements work the way they do, and how proper technique connects to the overall movement. That has helped me so much more than simply being told to copy a step. We always end the class "bowing to the audience" so I promise you willnalways walk away feeling like a Prima ballerina lol For privates she really tailors the lessons to your specific goals. It isnt a copy paste formula. After a few months of working with her, I am standing taller, skating more smoothly, and my balance has improved a lot. I feel much more prepared for my competition in April than I did before. I highly recommend the classes and privates if you need help with anything.

If you’re searching for the best dance school on the Treasure Coast, St. Lucie Dance Theater is the place to be! We tried a few other studios before, but nothing compares to what Gina and Tina have created here. They make every child feel welcome while still delivering amazing professional training. It truly feels like family, and I couldn’t imagine my daughter dancing anywhere else!
