Answer 1

I think most of the time we would say, "She is in dance class".

Answer 2

Or

She´s at her dance class.

We would say this even though the dance class doesn´t belong to her.

Answer 3

I'm so happy that I'm not the one studying English!

I studied languages for years, and thought all the other languages were cool because they had difficult aspect. English, of course, was a boring, easy language. It was easy to pronounce and had such a logical structure.

In the past 3 years, though, it finally dawned on me there are awful hard nuances and pronunciations in English. Finally, I am proud of English. It is difficult, too. I also appreciate my mastery of it much more...I'm more aware that I am richly familiar with its nuances.

It has been beneficial to see others struggle to learn English...something I had not really experienced much before.

So true Webdunce. Learning Spanish has really opened my eyes to what a pain this language is to learn. :) - Nicole-B, Oct 18, 2010

But, I am proud of the language as well. - Nicole-B, Oct 18, 2010

Answer 4

I agree with both Eddy and Kevin. The only exception is when a specific type of dance is described.

Por ejemplo:

She is in the ballet class.

She is in the tap dancing class.

She is in the modern dance class.

However, we also do shorten these to say:

She is at ballet.

She is at tap.

I'm so happy that I'm not the one studying English!
