From the reviews
Barbara Hammond’s School of Dance was amazing!!! My daughter danced with Ms. Barbara and Ms. Jen all through elementary, middle and high school. Dancing with the studio was so much more than just dance, it taught my daughter teamwork, poise and the development of lasting friendships.
Barbara Hammond School of Dance is truly a unique place. I grew up at this studio for 12+ years. I developed some of my most meaningful relationships and found best friends for life.
I give the highest recommendation to Barbara Hammond's School of Dance! My oldest daughter danced here for 15 wonderful years and now my youngest just finished her first full year of dance. Ms.
Our daughter has been with Barbara Hammond's School of Dance for 5 years and started the performance team 2 years ago. She loves the camaraderie and friendships she's established. And, the teachers are a lot of fun!
Your first ballet class at Barbara Hammond's School of Dance, Inc.
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.
