From the reviews
The best teacher in the area. Marianna is awesome. My daughter had learned so much in the last two years from here. And due to the progress she made she is in love with the art form these days.
My daughter has been studying ballet under Ms. Marianna’s class since 2 years ago, and she is always happy to go to the class. She also like to dance around the house and doing stretches on her own. This show how much enthusiastic she is with ballet and how much she really loves it.
Before joining Ayana Dance School, my two daughters tried ballet through the local community classes and two other ballet studios. Ayana is our favorite! My kids are learning proper ballet techniques in a fun and engaging way, and I like the in-class corrections that the teacher provides.
My 5 yo daughter felt in love with Ayana's classes and looking forward to dance with Marianna every time. As a kid I've got great dancing background, so was picky to ballet classes in Bay Area and teachers as well). I was so impressed druring trial class! Marianna is a great teacher - professional, patient, attentive..
Your first ballet class at Ayana Ballet School
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.
