From the reviews
My daughter has been coming to dance pointe for almost 5 years. She's tried their tap, ballet, hip hop, and gymnastics classes and thoroughly enjoyed them. Everyone has been beyond professional and welcoming. But they've been a trusted source of information for my daughter's development.
I have been with this dance studio for 16 years I believe in the teachers and the programs which the school provides. All the teachers here at Dance Pointe are so kind, respectful and willing to help. I have had the opportunity to work with all the teachers here at Dance Pointe.
I have been a student at Dance Pointe Performing Arts Center for almost two decades now. This school has given me the foundation needed to grow exponentially as a performer. I have been so lucky to be educated in a plethora dance styles, vocals and theater in this welcoming space.
our daughter Adriana really gathered her stride and confidence at Dance Pointe in Selden. we always love to tell our friends and family how our independent little dancer, has gained so much confidence and expanded her personality since starting at 2 years old. The staff is fantastic.
Adult ballet at Dance Pointe Performing Arts Center
Dance Pointe Performing Arts Center runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Pointe Performing Arts Center
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.
