From the reviews

Even though I have only been here for a couple months i still am giving this studio a 5. The staff are fantastic and are very nice. Begin on the competition team is the best we all have so much fun dancing and learning.

I have been dancing here for 7 years now and it had been the best 7 years of my life. I mean just the environment is so warm and fuzzy because everyone is nice to everyone! The teachers are so nice and understanding and are so good at what they do!

★★★★★ — Regan, Apr 2019

I have been dancing at this studio for 15 years and have been on the competition team for 8 years! I have enjoyed every minute of it. The teachers and Miss Nefra are the best around and I would not have changed my experience for anything.

Your first ballet class at Connecticut Dance Theatre & The Arts

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.
