From the reviews
Best studio hands down. The teachers are amazing and know their stuff. Technique is important to the studio and you can tell when they perform. Its not all about being cute on stage, its about expression and technique! My daughter hasn't just learned how to dance, she has come away with an amazing support system.
My daughter (6.5) first attended class at Above the Barre over the summer during one of the dance camps and enjoyed it so much that we signed up for weekly classes during the school year! Not only one class, but two! We spend an hour during our evening twice a week at ATB and we both truly look forward to it! Ms.
BEST dance studio in the area! My daughter has been dancing at ATB for several years now and loves it! Not only do we enjoy watching her perform, but we are blown away by how much she has grown into beautiful, confident dancer.
My daughter has been dancing here for 9 years. We love the studio. Owner is super hands on. They are tough on the dancers and strive for excellence and love them immensely, continuing to foster their love of the craft and their person. They care about them not only as a dancer but as a growing individual too.
Your first ballet class at Above the Barre Dance Academy
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.
