From the reviews
Community is wonderful and so supportive! I look forward to dance everyday because of the healthy environment. The teachers help out so much and make dance something to look forward to; they have helped me improve so much.
My daughter has been going for 2 years for piano and voice. Very pleased with their experienced staff and the shows.
I have been taking dance and piano at COMAD for nine years and voice lessons for two years. The teachers are dedicated and passionate people who care about helping their students grow and improve. The teachers are very engaging and make class fun but are also very professional.
I have been involved with COMAD for 4 years and I have had nothing but good experiences with the shows, staff, and other students. I am a part of the Dance, theatre, and music departments in the studio, and the teachers in each one provide a professional, educational, fun, and supportive environment for all students.
Your first ballet class at Conservatory of Music and 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.
