From the reviews
My daughter took the Creative Movement Class. She thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did she learn she enjoyed performing on a stage but she also made a new little friend. This is a great place to expose your child to ways for finding their since of self.
I started acting classes and voice lessons here and it was kind of awkward timing because it was kind of in the middle of the season but everybody has been so welcoming and kind. The price is great for the voice lessons and the class.
My daughter went to the Hip Hop minis class for the first time and she had a blast! The instructor of the Tuesday class is amazing with kids! The class is small which means more personalized interaction with your kiddo so they can learn, enjoy and be great!
My daughters wanted to give dancing a try. They learned ballet and tap for one season. The teachers were really great. The facility is larger than some others we toured. There was plenty of room for parents to wait. Unfortunately, Covid hit the USA as we were finishing our first season.
Your first ballet class at Classic Melodies Performance Institute- Mellwood Arts 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.
