From the reviews

Danced here with my sis my entire life. Best experience learning from Miss Debbie, and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

★★★★★ — Jess, Apr 2021

I have two daughters in different classes with Miss Debbie and their favorite part of the week is ballet. She’s so great with both of them, and every year we love the recital and seeing everything they’ve worked on all year come to fruition, and it’s also so incredible for kids as young as three to be able to achieve…

★★★★★ — Brendan, Feb 2025

This place is incredible. Miss Debbie is such a good teacher and exceptional person. Highly recommended

Your first ballet class at Art 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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
