★★★★★ — Jeselys, Dec 2017

I did a summer session of Dance together with my toddler. Ms. Natalia is an amazing instructor for the young girls. I found she gave equal attention and care to each of the kids. Toddlers can be difficult to deal with and she showed patience, fun & grace.

★★★★★ — Ruth, Sep 2025

My daughter has been going to ADC since she was 3 and she enjoys it very much. Teachers are very professional, friendly and funny. Front desk staff are very helpful and accommodating when it comes to switching classes, registering for make ups and answering questions. Special shout out to Ms.

★★★★★ — Alfiya, Nov 2023

Our daughter is in love with this school. Performances are amazing and she is part of the group. They are intentional and take good care of students. What's also great is that our daughter takes piano here as well. We are beyond grateful.

Your first ballet class at Astoria Dance Center

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.
