★★★★★ — Mario, Jul 2025

I have danced here since I was about two years old and I am still dancing here today. All of the teachers are so nice and welcoming. Dancing here is really fun and is great for little kids!

★★★★★ — Rilynn, May 2025

My daughter absolutely loves her Baby Ballet class with Miss Maria at Dance Arts by Maria. Miss Maria is such a fun, engaging, and talented teacher — she has a wonderful way of making every class magical for the little ones.

★★★★★ — Leah, Oct 2025

Maria and her staff are so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We’ve been going here for a year now with my toddler (3). And now my baby (18 months) is starting to dance as well. The classes are fun and hold the kids attention, but also introduce core technique. They are very organized and professional.

Your first ballet class at Dance Arts by Maria, Inc.

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.
