The students at RDC find friendship, passion, and a personal growth at the studio. The instructors work with each student to find the appropriate classes to meet their skill level. Individual feedback and attention to proper technique are a part of every class. Pam Turner is an amazing teacher who instinctively knows how students learn best. Safety and age-appropriate expectations are a priority. The confidence and feeling of accomplishment that result are evident in the dancers, and it spills over into other areas of their lives. I have been a student at RDC for 32 years, and there is always something new to learn! The adult program is perfect for people who danced in their youth or want to start their dance journey now. The studio offers a great summer program where dancers of all ages can learn new skills. If you are thinking about finding a dance program for yourself or your child, give them a call. It will change your life in a very positive way!
I was told by the director I was not allowed to take adult classes that I wanted to because I wasn't "good enough", even though that was the only adult class available in that style. I was also told that there was only one adult class that they would allow me to take, even though it was during the one day in the week I was unavailable. The one time I was able to take that class, and even though these are adults, they were extremely cliquey and I felt really uncomfortable being there. I'd like to rate this higher because the director is a very nice person and a good teacher, but they made it so that I couldn't sign up for classes.
Pam Turner is one of the best dance instructors around. She has tons of experience in all facets of dance. What a great facility!
Richmond Dance Center has a well-educated staff which is extremely important when choosing a dance studio. Their quality instruction produces fabulous dancers at their studio...some have made it all the way to Broadway in NYC! Love RDC...especially adult tap with Ms. Pam.
I practically grew up at Richmond Dance Center. I have been dancing there for as long as I can remember. (I'm now 31). Now as an adult student, I find that I am still learning to be a better dancer every year from Pam Turner as well as the other amazing teachers at the studio.The studio does not just provide lessons in dance technique and style, but there is a real sense of community among the students. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone young or old, beginner or advanced.
