From the reviews
This has been our first year with Greater York Dance and we could not be more impressed! The level of attention and detail at this studio is unmatched. We were on the hunt to find a supportive, yet structured environment for our daughters and have found the perfect place at Greater York.
My 4-year old daughter danced here and had a great experience! The teachers and staff were very friendly and she loved her Barbie ballet class. We moved to another state before the recital but they were still kind enough to ship my daughter her costume and a few other end of year items after the show was over.
Is a very professional community with amazing staff! Dance it Forward offers spectacular training and opportunities!
Greater York Dance = Outstanding Dance Training! Greater York Dance fosters a love for dance. They provide a well-rounded dance education and provide a variety of dance styles for all ages and levels.
Adult ballet at Dance It Forward - Greater York Youth Ballet
Dance It Forward - Greater York Youth Ballet 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 It Forward - Greater York Youth Ballet
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.
