If you are looking for a dance class for your daughter I recommend Cassie’s School of dance in Whitehouse. Cassie offers classes for tap dancing, jazz dancing, ballet, lyrical, and hip hop dancing (hip hop dancing for both girls and boys). The studio opened in 1992 but Cassie has been teaching dance for many years before that.
Children can start taking ballet and tap dance classes at the age of three years old. Cassie tries to keep the younger class small enough so that each student can have all the attention that your child will need. For the three and four-year-olds’ class the instructor divides the class in half doing both tap and ballet dancing. As your child grows they are able to take more pacific class that is much longer. All classes are 45 minutes to an hour long. She offers different classes at different times during the week. Your child can do as many classes as long as it is in their age group.
Cassie’s School of Dance has a performance at the end of the school year (in the middle of June). The show is for all age groups. The children will also be in the Whitehouse Christmas parade, either walking or riding on a float.
Every class costs $40 per a month, which is not bad compared to many dance studios in East Texas. You do have to buy the proper shoes and outfits for your child’s practice and performances, this can get somewhat expensive.
Parents are able to watch their children practice through a large window, but they are asked not to interrupt the teacher while she is teaching a class. Dance is a great way for your kids to learn how to listen to direction, also a great place for your children to meet new friends. Cassie is a great instructor and really cares about your children, and tries to get to know you and your child more personally. She is more than willing to answer any question and she is extremely helpful. I highly recommend Cassie’s School of Dance to all the parents out there. With the polite staff and the caring instructor, you and your child will love this school.
