★★★★★ — Erin, Aug 2020

I have been under Jill Tanioka-Ventura's direction since I was 5 years old and she has made me into the dancer that I am today. From competing on local, national and international levels, to dancing in college to professionally in the NBA and NFL, I owe to her all of my training.

★★★★★ — Cianna, Aug 2020

Highly recommend Dance Junction Hawaii!!! DJH offers a variety of dance classes and provides a safe and inviting environment for dancers of all ages. I was lucky enough to dance for Jill Tanioka-Ventura (the owner & director) from a young age and enjoyed years of instruction.

Your first ballet class at Dance Junction Hawaii

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.
