From the reviews
This is my daughters first year taking dance class. She begged me to find her a studio, since all of her classmates were taking dance. I searched online and in person for several weeks, not being impressed with any of the local companies, until I decided to stop for a Ralph's ices on Carmen Avenue in East Meadow.
This was my last year at the Westbury Academy of Dance, and I am so sad to be leaving! I have made such good friends in my fourteen years at this studio. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable dance experience!
I absolutely love the place. Very friendly, clean and affordable. A great experience for young children who love to dance. My kids have attended for 3 years so far and love it.
Personally I love them! Miss Gabby is so nice and my daughter loves the classes. The company kids were amazing and very entertaining 😎
Adult ballet at Body Language Dance & Theatre Arts Studio
Body Language Dance & Theatre Arts Studio runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Body Language Dance & Theatre Arts Studio
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.
