“We took our daughter to the 3 year old class and due to some scheduling snafus we went to each teacher and each and everyone was great, just great, with the kids.”
From the reviews
Bodiography provides first-class dance instruction and has a refreshingly inclusive philosophy, believing that people of all body types can be great dancers.
Good for little kids! My 4yo has enjoyed learning ballet basics, jumping and leaping around the room, pretending to be different animals, and learning to move to the rhythm of the music.
My 9-year-old daughter takes tap and dance classes here every week and she loves them. The teachers perform actively and seem very knowledgeable to this very non-expert reviewer. More importantly, they are great with the kids. They all seem to have great command of the classroom and motivation skills.
My son and daughter love it here! The teachers are amazing... Not just as dancers, or simply as friendly people, but they are so very good as teachers for even stubborn young kids! Wonderful and worthwhile!
Your first ballet class at Bodiography
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.
