From the reviews
I was a part of the Dayton Ballet Company many years ago. I studied at the school, as did my mother, under the guidance of Ms. Jo, Ms. Bess And Mr. Jon. It’s a fantastic school with fantastic teachers. I was so fortunate.
I’ve been taking one of the one hour adult classes one evening a week and am having a great time! You can’t beat the price ($15 if you drop in or a 10 class punch card for $120 aka $12 a class) and the class size is small. Ms.
Great opportunities and classes at Dayton Ballet School. Not only do they get to share the same space as the professional company, the students have the opportunity to be chosen to be part of the professional productions by Dayton Ballet Company.
My Granddaughter came home thrilled about her teacher and the new friends she made. My proud ballerina came home with her first sticker.
Your first ballet class at Dayton Ballet School
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.
