About the Program

Downtown Dance Conservatory is a ballet-rooted dance school on East Sahara Avenue, now in Season 9. The studio says its goal is professional level training and performance chances for young dancers.

The 2026-27 Program Guide sorts dancers by age: First Steps and Kinder for the youngest (ages 2 to 5), Juniors, and Teens, with groups for ages 6 to 8, ages 9 to 11 and ages 12 and up. There is also a Circus class for ages 5 and up. Ask for the class schedule to see which styles each level covers before you book.

Ask the studio for this season's tuition and whether there is a registration fee. You can book a trial class online first.

Owner and artistic director Sara Ives has taught ballet for over 15 years and once ran Henderson Youth Ballet. She has also led inclusive dance workshops for children ages 4 to 10 with the Las Vegas Natural History Museum.

First Visit Guide

What most dance studios expect. Confirm the details with Downtown Dance Conservatory before you go.

What to bring

  • Leggings or shorts with a fitted top, nothing your child can trip on
  • Bare feet or socks are fine for a trial. Don't buy ballet, tap, or jazz shoes until the studio tells you the exact style and color they want.
  • Hair pulled back, water bottle

Before you go

  • Ask about the dress code before you buy anything.
  • Come early for the waiver and to find the right studio room.
  • Ask how parents watch. Some studios have windows, some have lobby monitors, some are drop-off only.

The first visit

A trial class is normal: warm-up, moving across the floor, and a short routine. The recital and costume fees come months later. Ask when those decisions are due so nothing surprises you.

For sensory-sensitive kids

Mirrors, music, and a room full of kids is a lot at once. Ask if your child can watch a class first, and whether the studio runs smaller classes.
