From the reviews

We're glad we found 1st Steps to Broadway School of Dance! My little 3 year old is so excited to start in Tiny Tappers dance group. The enrollment process was very organized and easy. The owner Angie is very nice and helped us every step of the way.

★★★★★ — Meredith, Jul 2024

We are beyond happy with our baby’s ballet class! She absolutely loves it, and it’s such a joy to watch her learn and dance with so much enthusiasm. Seeing her grow, improve, and enjoy every moment fills our hearts with happiness.

★★★★★ — Maria, Feb 2025

Had an amazing experience! This is my daughter’s first dance class she’s 4. Angie was very patient with her and let her explore and enjoy the process of picking out tap shoes, ballet shoes and leotards. I enjoyed how she broke down the “why” she was doing things so that my daughter and I both understood.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Mar 2026

We recently had our initial consultation with Miss. Angie, my daughter and I left feeling extremely confident in our decision. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, professional and structured.

Your first ballet class at 1st Steps to Broadway School of Dance

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
