From the reviews

Excellent teachers, very supportive, friendly, and easy to reach staff members. The organization is well run. When you or your dancer needs help with something the best approach is to talk with someone in the School of Dance. They are all helpful and clear.

EXCELENTE LUGAR, LOS MAESTROS MUY CAPACITADOS Y PACIENTES. EL PERSONAL ATIENDE MUY BIEN SON ATENTOS Y AMABLES. LOS NIÑOS SE ACOPLAN RÁPIDO Y RESULTAN PARA ELLOS UN LUGAR FAMILIAR AL QUE VAN CON GUSTO A TOMAR LAS CLASES.

Your first ballet class at Ballet Hispánico & The Ballet Hispánico 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.

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.
