From the reviews
Our daughter has not only learned the fundamentals of classical ballet, but also the life lessons of hard work, discipline, poise and stage presence. She belongs to a nurturing community that builds confidence, friendships, and performance.
This is a wonderful place for children to learn classical ballet. I was a student of Miss Susan as a child and have enrolled all my daughters. They learn such grace and athleticism. Ballet helps with sports, poise, presentation skills, and gives you grace your whole life long.
My daughter has danced at Children’s Dance Conservatory for 11 years. The poise, confidence and presentation skills she has developed will last her a lifetime.
Your first ballet class at Children's Dance Conservatory / IYB
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.
