From the reviews

My daughter with special needs loves ballet! At first, I was really nervous for her but Ms. Emily is welcoming and helps her to feel included. I love seeing her be a part of the Halloween and Christmas performances.

★★★★★ — Christina, Aug 2022

My daughter has been coming here for almost a year now. She loves it here! I toured some other dance studios before choosing CSD. Ms Emily is wonderful teacher. She practices good habits with the students, both through dance and class decorum. She is warm, but firm when it comes to how her class is conducted.

★★★★★ — Hollie, Aug 2022

I am SO thrilled I found this ballet studio for my daughter! I tried the Arcadia recreation ballet class last year, but my daughter didn't seem to enjoy the class and was glued to my hip for most of it.

★★★★★ — Stacey, Oct 2020

My daughter has been a student here for more than 2 years now. She is 6 and knows all of the ballet positions in the proper french names and impresses me everytime I watch her practice!

Your first ballet class at Collenette School Of Dancing

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.
