From the reviews
My daughter danced with Julie for the last 2-2.5 years. I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with her and at her studio. At Ballet Rochester, students are taught classic ballet, not modernized dance.
Wonderful company. Excellent instructor. Super professional, so glad you broke away from the last business partner.
Your first ballet class at Ballet Rochester
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.
