From the reviews
After we had a not-so-positive experience at another dance studio in the area, we found 2nd Street Studio of Dance. My daughter loves it here! The teachers are excellent and my daughter feels supported, accepted, and challenged. She loves dancing again! The owner, Ms.
Adult classes 7 days a week. Teachers encourage and work with adults of all levels and abilities. Always time for questions and additional support. Thank you 2nd Street Studio of Dance teachers.
Ms.Sarah is wonderful. She engaged little kids with fun and professional knowledge. My granddaughter Aviva is 2.5 and she loves her class
Best studio I've ever been to, and that's saying a lot considering I've been to many in my lifetime! I have been at 2nd Street since day one 7 years ago, and it is the only place where I can confidently say I feel like I'm at home every time I walk through the door.
Adult ballet at 2nd Street Studio of Dance
2nd Street Studio of Dance runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at 2nd Street Studio 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.
