I had my daughter's 5th birthday party here, and it was incredible! They did such a great job engaging the kids the whole time, did all the set up and clean up, and even had a ballerina there to dance with the kiddos. I can't recommend it highly enough- such a magical (and easy) party!!

Great dance studio! My daughter is one of the youngest in her class and somewhat apprehensive. Miss Karen and Miss Liz go above and beyond to bring her up to speed and make her part of the class. They are very patient and caring. I'm glad we decided to send our daughter there.

I grew up dancing at the Dance Studio of Wakefield and it was the best experience! It's family owned and includes all of its dancers in that family. The studio has also been around for 39 years! That gives them a lot of experience in running a studio and making it perfect!

Your first ballet class at Dance Studio of Wakefield

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.
