From the reviews

My daughter started at the Dance Conservatory of Maryland last winter with a free trial dance class that we heard about at an event. I wasn’t sure what to expect— but we fell in love with the class and have signed her up for every session since! Her teacher, Mrs.

★★★★★ — Kate, Oct 2022

I absolutely love this school. The teachers are amazing. They are very professional. All you have to do to come to their open house and you will never go anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Yana, Feb 2017

Excellent Instruction and Instructors. We have 4 children involved in Ballet and would never consider going anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Melvin, Nov 2016

Caring teachers with a strong focus on technique and a track record of turning out well-trained dancers who can continue to pursue their passion after high school. Please ignore the 1one star review from 5 years ago... I cannot believe this person actually had a ballet student.

Your first ballet class at Ballet Chesapeake

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.
