From the reviews

My daughter has been taking classes at Capitol Ballet since she was 8 years old. She's 15 now and it's her home away from home. Mr. Carroll and Ms. Newton are amazing teachers. Definitely the place to be if you are serious about ballet.

★★★★★ — Holly, Sep 2017

Capitol Ballet center has been such a great experience for my two girls these past 3 years! This school is an older facility,but don't let that fool you into passing it up! The owners are wonderful and are a perfect balance of ballet experience, discipline, fun and quirk!

★★★★★ — Charity, Dec 2025

Capitol Ballet Center is one of the absolute best ballet studios we have ever been a part of. Ms. Newton and Mr. Carol have an absolute wealth of knowledge to share with the students. They are true professionals. Not only are our kids getting professional training, but the girls and staff are friendly and funny!

★★★★★ — Brandon, Dec 2025

My daughter has been training at Capitol Ballet for two years and her growth in technique and repertoire has exceeded all my expectations. We have tried a few different ballet studios in her years of dancing and nothing can compare to Capitol Ballet.

Your first ballet class at Capitol Ballet 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.
