From the reviews

Deos ballet is magnificent! I stumbled across them two years ago and have followed their progress through various venues. The choreography is fine art; that is, connected to a theme, literary work or the visual arts. Each performance has been elegant, graceful and uplifting.

We just attended 'Dancers Go Boo' at Frugthaven Farm. This was a delightful ballet for the children which included a storybook ballet with dancing characters and then was followed by a brief beginner ballet class for the children in the audience who were also wearing Halloween costumes.

This company has a great mission with breathtaking performances. I know it’s a young company but I think its future is bright! Can’t wait to attend this year’s show!

Your first ballet class at Deos Contemporary Ballet

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.
