From the reviews
As a mom of two daughters and a former dancer myself, Above the Barre is a dream studio! The instructors are all incredibly talented teachers, easily able to work with all dancers from a wide variety of backgrounds.
I am just starting my 3rd year at Above the Barre and I am still as excited as I was when I started. I just love this studio. I love all the instructors and all the new friends I have made while taking classes there. Each instructor brings their own unique style to the barre class and it is never boring.
Above the Barre Dance and Fitness is the ideal studio for the long term barre veterans who want to be challenged; and is the welcoming environment for barre and fitness newbies. All of the instructors are informative, friendly and encouraging. THE CLEANIEST STUDIO EVER.
Love this dance studio I started taking my daughter as a baby to the Zumbini classes and as soon as she was old enough signed her up for ballet classes. She’s going on her third year in the fall and we’re so excited! Amanda and the dance teachers do such a wonderful job and create a positive environment and community!
Your first ballet class at Above the Barre Dance & Fitness
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.
