From the reviews
My daughter has been taking ballet classes at Connolly for 3 years and absolutely loves it there. Ms. Sondra was so patient with her as a beginner and challenges her now that she has moved up a level. Ms. Vivian works with her on the little details that polish her performances and pushes her to do her best.
We have been part of Connolly Dance Arts for the past 5 years. We have had nothing but a great experience with this company. The teachers are very knowledgeable and professional. Kathleen (owner) treats my daughter as her own. She also plans well ahead to keep parents updated on upcoming events.
My daughter has been dancing here for 8 years. We have enjoyed all her teachers. Especially Ms. Sondra. She has been such a great teacher. Very caring and so patient with the girls.
My girls love dancing here! The instructors are wonderful and they've really helped my dancers grow. The recitals are always put together nicely. (The 2024 Alice in Wonderland show was just beautiful!) I highly recommend CDA for a thorough dance education.
Your first ballet class at Connolly Dance 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.
