From the reviews

The instructors are excellent, friendly staff and studios are clean, well lit. I think it's a great local dance studio!

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Mar 2018

We have been with this studio for 5 years and the owner, staff, and choreographers are true professionals. Beyond Dance is a home away from home for our dancer. We can't say enough good things about the instruction, support, guidance, and opportunities that we have received since joining this studio.

★★★★★ — Kelly, Sep 2017

One of the best small businesses in Brooklyn. If you are a parent and want your child to learn self confidence and determination the culture here will cultivate that. My daughters have grown up here and I could not think of a better place for them to spend their time.

★★★★★ — Michael, Feb 2021

Great dance school and my girls have learned so much from Ms. Jen and her excellent teachers.

Your first ballet class at Beyond 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.

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.
