Art of VIII School of Dance 3720 Walnut Hill Lane, Dallas, TX 75229

"I am currently in the Ballet Series 1 class and I have loved every moment of it! I have no prior dance experience (not a graceful moving bone in my body), so jumping into something so foreign was nerve wrecking for me. Janicka has been nothing but supportive throughout! She takes the time to give thoughtful corrections in class along with providing encouragement, which helps me to correct my mistakes without feeling guilty or being too hard on myself. Since taking this class, I feel more confident, connected within my body, and I feel so much stronger! There are also many options of classes to choose from, providing lots of variety! I highly highly highly recommend Art of VIII School of Dance to anyone thinking about taking ballet classes or any class they have to offer!"

"At Art of VIII School of Dance, I found a welcoming haven for adults venturing into ballet, reaffirming the belief that it's never too late to dance. With prior experience (although VERY VERY rusty) I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and inclusive atmosphere. The instructors, skilled and supportive, cater to all levels, blending technique, artistry, and fitness seamlessly. What stood out was the studio's commitment to making returning dancers like myself feel comfortable. The non-judgmental space created by the instructors allowed me to rediscover the joy of movement and rebuild confidence. Can't wait to start a new series in 2024!!"

"I highly recommend Art of VIII School of Dance! Janicka delivers an entirely unique experience catering to all adults, whether you are newly discovering dance or reconnecting after many years. I am 50 and returning to ballet, relearning the fundamentals. After four classes I am already feeling a rebirth in mind, body, & spirit! Janicka emanates an incredible energy creating an atmosphere that is both challenging and accepting. I am equally impressed with my classmates. Starting something new can be intimidating, and making time for your own physical and mental well-being amidst life’s responsibilities isn’t easy. Whatever your reason is for showing up (leaving your comfort zone, working your body, getting out of the house, renewing your mind, communing with others) you will leave each class feeling proud of yourself. Come to Art of VIII and dance with Janicka, I promise you will not be disappointed!"
