★★★★★ — Lynda, Mar 2019

Great communication! They responded to my request for information immediately and answered all my questions and then some. They are super nice and accommodating. My daughter LOVED her first dance class and she was able to do a free trial class to make sure it was the right fit for her.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Oct 2022

We love this place!! My daughter loves this place!!! At 4, she fell in love with the Broadway class & then saw the tap/ballet class following, she wanted to try it out. Before we knew it, she was dancing about 2 hours a week & couldn’t wait to be on stage.

Your first ballet class at East Coast Dance Complex

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.
