From the reviews
Dance & Company is amazing! The owners will treat you like family and the teachers are fantastic! My daughter has made great friendships at the studio and her love for dance has only grown stronger. I highly recommend Dance & Company!!
We have had our daughter dancing at Dance and Company for over 7 years now! Since our very first class with our nervous toddler, Katie, Lisa and their teachers have been warm, knowledgeable, patient and fun!
We have attended Dance and company for three years- first at Sorrento Valley location and then at RB! We love the studio- the staff is warm and encouraging, there’s a good variety of classes for all ages, and we love the owners.
My daughter and son both dance at this studio and have loved it since day 1. The classes are structured well in focusing on technique and development. They make you feel like part of the studio family and we can tell that they truly care about the kids.
Adult ballet at Dance & Company, Rancho Bernardo
Dance & Company, Rancho Bernardo 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 & Company, Rancho Bernardo
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.
