Recently relocated to Maryland from NJ and wanted to find an activity for my 2 year old. Initially I was on the fence , but I'm so happy I let her try it out. Miss Joelle is absolutely amazing and so patient with all of the girls! I'm 100% registering my daughter for summer and fall sessions!

We had a great experience here with my 6yo. She did the combo dance class and enjoyed learning ballet, tap, and jazz. The instructors are adults who formerly came through the studio as kids and grew up dancing, and it's clear they love dance and they love working with kids.

Your first ballet class at D'anna Dance 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.

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.
