What Our Clients Are Saying...
If you are looking for a classic dance studio for your children Miss Persis is the place. Twelve years ago we left a competition studio, and have never looked back. The attention to dancing in a classy, age appropriate manner, is a breath of fresh air in this day and age! The studio also has an famous, long standing tradition in Arlington, Cotillion! These classes teach young people traditional couples dances, appropriate etiquette, and proper dining manners.

My daughter was not too thrilled when I signed her up for Cotillion class but ended up having an absolute great time. I highly recommend the Cotillion class. It's a lot of fun and very good learning experience.
