From the reviews
It was amazing. I danced there for five years before moving across the country and learned how to do so many thing I thought I could never do. Thank you for an amazing five years Miss Michelle. ~Allegra Abreu
I've had the pleasure of knowing Michele and her family all of my life. The dance school is amazing. My little one is currently a student there. The patience she has while teaching toddlers deserves a standing ovation! Such a fun time and feels like you're with family.
Your first ballet class at Dance Fantasies
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.
