The programs they offer
From the reviews
I’ve taken 3 of Molly’s yoga classes so far at Dovetail Northfield and they are perfect! Slow and intentional, they are great for beginners or a more advanced yogi that wants to focus on breath and form. The studio is clean, quiet and close to many cute shops and restaurants. A great new addition to Northfield!
I love this new dance studio. The space is terrific, as was the yoga instructor. I’m pleased to have a new dance studio that is nearby, with easy parking. Welcome to Northfield, Dovetail Studio.
Your first ballet class at Dovetail Studios
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.
