From the reviews

My 3 year daughter began going here in the beginning of 2024. She absolutely loves Ms. Courtney and going to her dance class. The atmosphere is incredibly positive and everyone is very welcoming and kind. Ms. Courtney is wonderful with the little girls and has so much patience with them.

I grew up at Dance Centre. I took every class since they first opened their doors, and continued taking as many as they offered until I moved away for university. The staff and instructors are professional and warm, and I learned more than just dance. Dance Centre was a home away from home, a kind of sanctuary.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Aug 2020

A magical place. The teachers and students alike radiate with love for what they're doing. There is a very strong sense of community and mutual support; everyone drives each other to find their own inner light and confidence to be a great dancer, all while keeping the pressure low and enjoyment high.

Your first ballet class at Dance Centre of the Hamptons

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.
