My daughter has been dancing for 8+ years now and this is her first year with the Conservatory of dance. She is so glad she made the switch and has met Bill and Leah and all the amazing teachers here.

Love this studio!! Super family friendly! Great prices, professional caring owners and staff. Costumes are flattering and cover the dancer appropriately. My shy daughter loves coming and learning from all of her teachers.

Your first ballet class at Conservatory of Dance

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.
