I'm not sure where you live, but my 4 year old started taking dance when she was 3 at StudioOne Dance Center in Keller. It just opened in August 2007, and my daughter started taking dance when it opened. Jennifer, the owner/instructor, is wonderful. You can tell she loves what she does and loves the kids as well. She is patient and kind with them always. We love, love, love the studio. My daughter takes a tap, ballet, tumbling combo class on Monday evening, and she absolutely loves the class. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more details. I couldn't say enough positive things about the studio. We also love the fact that it is a Christian dance studio... we don't have the concerns about appropriateness of moves/costumes as our daughter gets older. We pay $50/month for one hour/week class. There is also a recital fee in the spring. I think that fee is $50, and a costume fee of $65. Good luck with your search. They offer classes starting at age 2.
