From the reviews
I'd give 100 stars if I could! My daughter is in the little movers class with miss Kat and she has helped open her up! My daughter is super shy and has never been away from me so we wanted to get her some more socialization with dance. Kat had welcomed her with a warm heart and now she looks forward going to dance!
We have been attending All That Dance for the last 10 years. This place has been a home away from home for my daughter, a place where she can truly be herself and shine. The owner, Eileen, knows every student's name and treats them with kindness and respect.
Great first impression. My daughter had her first dance class today and loved it! It was really nice to be able to watch my daughter dance on a monitor while I sat in the front waiting area. Eileen was extremely welcoming, friendly and communicative. Happy to support a local company that clearly cares for the students.

Adult ballet at All That Dance
All That Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 All That 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.
