From the reviews
I danced at Deb Collier’s as a young girl for 11 years and now my 5 year old daughter is following in my “dance steps.” Some of my teachers are still there today, which speaks volumes to the level of dedication and love they have for this studio.
My son and daughter have been attending dance classes here for 6 years. We have never had one bad experience. The teachers are so amazing and kind. They strive to not only know your child, but they strive to know their family as well. You become a part of their family without even realizing it in the best way.
They were amazing with my girls! My two daughters are hard of hearing and they made them feel so welcome! They accommodated them, asked questions, and truly embraced them during their trial class. So much so that we signed up for classes that very night!
My daughter just turned 3 in the Tiny Twos class and she absolutely loves her teachers and friends there. She’s always so excited to go to class and has very quickly learned a lot of advanced motor skills. I couldn’t be more thankful to staff
Adult ballet at Debra Collier's School-Dance
Debra Collier's School-Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 Debra Collier's School-Dance
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.
