From the reviews
I really love this studio! The teachers are great and you can watch your children on TV in the waiting areas. The front desk is SUPER helpful and always go out of their way to make scheduling easy. They even have snacks and refreshments available for purchase.
My daughters have been dancing here for almost 7yrs and they love it!! The owner and staff are awesome! Everybody should try it once!!
Before enrolling my daughter at this studio, I visited other schools and tried some trial classes. In one of them, I left feeling overwhelmed: there was no one at the front desk to answer questions, there seemed to be preferential treatment for certain kids, and the instructor lacked classroom control.
Love this studio. They have 2 buildings with several studios inside. Great talented faculty who truly care about the children and educating them in technique as well as providing entertaining age appropriate choreo for recitals. There are multiple ways to engage in competitive dance here.
Adult ballet at Balance Dance Studios
Balance Dance Studios 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 Balance Dance Studios
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.
