From the reviews
DAS and Tara have become family. From the very first time my oldest daughter stepped into the studio for acting class, we felt at home. All of the staff are very talented and helpful to all of the students (adult and children).
I started coming to the studio a year ago and whenever we come in Ms. Tara makes us feel right at home and she's great with the kids. My daughter started with Petite Ballet and has moved to Ballet 1. We have done two shows already ( Alice in wonderland and Nutcracker ) and they were so much fun to watch.
These girls are so awesome. My daughter loves her class and always wants to go extra days. Miss Tara is the sweetest and she always helps when my daughter needs it. I recommend this studio because they have lots of different classes.
They provide a wide range of classes. The teachers are wonderful. My daughter loves it and is excited for every class!
Adult ballet at Dance and Arts Studios - Parkway Plaza
Dance and Arts Studios - Parkway Plaza runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Dance and Arts Studios - Parkway Plaza
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.
