From the reviews

I'm not from this area, but now we as a family are settled here. I grew up dancing from elementary age all the way through college and the two studios I studied with were both mother and daughter studios. So when we found Belladance, it instantly felt like home. Julie and Miss Bella are a dream.

★★★★★ — Stacey, Nov 2019

My daughter Lilly loves Belladance and all of her instructors. Of course she does wish Miss Bella could teach all her classes. She is excited to go each week and is always practicing at home. The facility is gorgeous and all of the staff genuinely seems happy to be teaching dance!

★★★★★ — Katherine, Nov 2019

My daughter Tillie got her first pair of tap shoes when she was just a year old and then we patiently waited for her to be old enough to FINALLY take classes! My dad was all about Ballet classes and couldnt wait to be able to pay for her dance classes, just like his dad did for me.

★★★★★ — Kayla, Nov 2019

Your first ballet class at Belladance

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.
