From the reviews
Ballet for Topanga is one of the most nurturing studios I've ever had the privilege to dance at. Sherry is kind, encouraging, and supports every student's individual needs with focus. The beauty of this studio is not only in its physical surroundings (Topanga is one of a kind) but also in its class sizes.
I danced with Ballet for Topanga for 14 years and very much grew up with Ms. Sherry. She’s known me since I was 3 years old and taught me so much about confidence, endurance, respect, teamwork, and gracefulness.
I took ballet classes with Sherry for 15 years! She is a wonderful teacher and not only did I learn ballet through her classes but also became much more confident and determined. She is so passionate about teaching and really knows how to work with students of all ages and skill levels.
Ballet for Topanga is absolute magic. Sheri Jason is simply exceptional. Her expertise and genuine love for ballet are evident in every class. She encourages growth, self-expression, and teamwork, instilling in students a deep appreciation for this timeless art form.
Your first ballet class at Ballet for Topanga
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.
