Debunking 3 Common Myths About Dance Classes

Whether you’re looking to enroll yourself or a student at our Brea dance studio, there are always questions, concerns and assumptions we tend to have— only girls participate in ballet classes for kids, tap and jazz dance classes are outdated, contemporary dance is slow-paced. 

Although we’d argue each of these clichés endlessly, today we’ll be debunking generalized myths about attending dance classes: 

Myth: Dance Classes are Rigid and Disciplinary

Fact: If you dance in a non-competitive studio like ours that prioritizes encouragement, community and passion for the art of dance, you’ll never have to worry about yourself or your student being pressured or punished. We offer personalized instruction from dedicated teachers who only teach because they love dance and want to share it with the world. Your student will be taught patiently and learn at their own pace. 

Myth: You Have to Be Born With Natural Talent 

Fact: While it’s true that some are born with a knack for rhythm and dance, it can also be easily learned with repetition, dedication and, of course, passion. We’ve watched students excel at all levels of dance, through perseverance and a genuine interest to learn. Our tap and jazz dance classes teach rhythm and endurance. Our ballet classes for kids increase coordination and flexibility. Our hip-hop classes teach unique movements and choreography. You or your student can learn any aspect of dance at our Brea dance studio! 

Myth: Lessons Will Be Too Expensive

Fact: Academy 831 strives to make our classes accessible to the whole community! At our Brea dance studio, tuition is priced fairly and pays for smaller class sizes that allow personalized instruction for our students. We even offer a free 7-day trial so you can see if our studio is the right fit. Whether you’re looking to enroll your student in ballet classes for kids or want to test out tap and jazz dance classes for yourself, we strive to make our studio accessible and effective.
