“Instructor did a good job of mixing up dance moves and craft/story time to keep the toddlers entertained.”
From the reviews
All I have to say is great !!! We had my 5 year olds party this past weekend and it went super well ! Much smaller studio then expected but my daughter and her friends had a blast !! We had 6 girls come to her party and the lovely teacher was amazing and super sweet and patient !
I took my 3 year old daughter here for one of their mini camps (2-3 year olds). She had to warm up a bit but had a great time. It was Cinderella week. Instructor did a good job of mixing up dance moves and craft/story time to keep the toddlers entertained.
We sent my 4 year old daughter to Fairytale Ballet and had the most wonderful experience. The classes are fun and the recital was very age appropriate. Her teacher, Miss Alaina, was wonderful and sweet as sugar. She’s danced at other studios in the neighborhood and Fairytale is by far the best! Can’t recommend enough!
Your first ballet class at A Fairytale Ballet
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.
