From the reviews
I’ve had the pleasure of teaching with Amy. From a teacher’s perspective, this is the most well-run dance studio I’ve ever been a part of. Amy DeShong has created an environment that is positive, celebrates successes, pushes the students, and provides the highest level of classical ballet training in the area.
I am so thankful for this loving environment for my child to learn ballet. Amy DeShong and her team of teachers foster a positive and nurturing environment where the older dancers encourage the younger dancers and everyone supports each other.
For years i have had nothing but great experiences with this studio. Each teacher/employee is very nice, helpful, and want the best for each student and their family. Specifically, Brantley has been very supportive with each student and each time i am in the studio, students cannot wait to enter her classroom.
Our family is so pleased with Cornerstone Ballet. The director, Amy, is organized, poised, and professional. The staff is qualified and encouraging. I love the classical, technical instruction that helps children grow in their skills in a fun and nurturing environment. The families here seem to share similar values.
Your first ballet class at Cornerstone Ballet
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.
