From the reviews

I have been going to this dance school for years and I have grown both as a dancer and a person the teachers there push you to grow and help you out along the way

★★★★★ — Hannah, Jul 2017

*** amendment of previous review*** I must say, I was saddened and hurt by one individual’s lack of courtesy and professionalism. I can only hope I’ll be able to one day rescind my statement about her friendliness (or lack thereof), but I have been contacted by the owner/director Ms./Mrs.

★★★★☆ — Vicky, Feb 2018

My granddaughter has attended here for quite sometime. My standards have always been quite high when it comes to all youth programs no matter the price. I can honestly say that this dance studio has reached far beyond my expectations. She adores her teachers.

★★★★★ — Renee, Aug 2020

East Coast Performing Arts is amazing. The teachers are highly skilled and always professional. My two girls have danced with this group of talented teachers from a very young age.

Your first ballet class at East Coast Performing Arts

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.
