From the reviews

So happy my girls and I came to BDC! Katie is the most organized, caring studio owner. She doesn’t overcharge for costumes to make a profit like other studios and she is always doing extra little things for the students. We feel part of a family here.

★★★★★ — Kara, May 2025

We have been with Brooks for 6 years now. Both of my daughters love going there. Reasonably priced and caring atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Anne, Mar 2026

Very popular dance studio, could use more parking, it can get a bit tricky when full

Your first ballet class at ​​Brooks Dance Center​​

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.
