From the reviews

Growing up in a military family, I went to several different dance studios. I am so happy that I was able to spend the longest time at Carlisle Dance as I danced all through high school here.

★★★★★ — Laura, Dec 2019

My daughter (3 years old) loves her dance instructors and is always excited for her dance class each week. It is a great activity that someone her age gets to be involved in and continue to grow with. The older classes and competition teams are amazing to watch and gives my daughter excellent role models to look up to.

Your first ballet class at Carlisle 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.

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.
