From the reviews
This place is the best! My daughter always feels special and I love that they are conservative. All the girls wear the same thing and Miss Gina is so sweet to all the kids.
Great studio with classical ballet training. Probably has the most solid dance instruction in the city of Topeka. Offers ballet, jazz, tap, liturgical, and lyrical/modern. This studio is run by the artistic leads that put on the longest running annual performance of the Nutcracker ballet in Topeka.
The teachers focus on technique and quality and make sure that every class you take is a step in improvement and another step towards your own personal goals as a dancer
We love this dance studio very much! My daughter has been going here for several years and takes many types of dance! I highly recommend this studio!!
Your first ballet class at Barbara's Conservatory of Dance
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.
