From the reviews
Awesome teacher, school and atmosphere! No competition between students! Just pure support for one another and a boat load of respect and fun!
Kristen is truly a gem within the dance profession and is very knowledgable about the art of dance. She is extremely passionate about teaching and takes the time to ensure that her students are learning proper technique in a developmentally appropriate, safe, and positive environment.
Love Ms.Kirsten! If you really want to grow in technique as a dancer, this is the place to go!

Your first ballet class at City Ballet of Maryland
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.
