From the reviews
Best. Dance. Studio. Ever. Staff is great. They make the kids use their manners and they are very conservative on the outfits. Both of our girls have danced here and have had great experiences. Very professional and kind. Our family highly recommends them. 💯😊
My daughter is a current student, and we absolutely adore Borgo! We are three out of four generations of dancers here: my late grandmother, Eleanor Sharpe, myself and sister and now my own daughter. Their philosophies are amazing. My daughter is 9 and in her 3rd or 4th year.
Went to Borgo's from pre-school through high school, mostly in ballet but took tap, gymnastics, and combination classes as well; incredibly caring instructors and staff. I now teach adult barre classes, Borgo's was a great foundation for learning proper form and posture
All 3 of my daughters took lessons at Borgo as did I as a young girl. My eldest really took to dance and continued for 14 years at Borgo. They are so supportive not only with dance, but other aspects of a growing girl’s other interests.
Adult ballet at Borgo Sisters School of Dance
Borgo Sisters School of Dance 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 Borgo Sisters School 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.
