From the reviews

It's really amazing to watch a person grow from a 3 - 4 year old to an adult. Dance, when taught in a family friendly environment, is such a gift to be given to that young person. Besides enhancing physical and mental health, the student realizes confidence, healthy friendships, and team building!

★★★★★ — Al, Aug 2019

My daughter has been learning dance at this studio for 6+ years. She has grown to learn and love more than one form of dance and they slowly but surely inculcate the love of dance in their students and without any pressure. The staff and administrations are always professional and accommodative.

★★★★★ — Priya, Aug 2021

East West Music and Dance is by far the BEST music and dance studio! My oldest daughter started in 2014 as a tiny tot and now is part of the performing company. Her sister started dancing at East West Music and Dance a couple of years ago and also loves it. The studio is family-owned, led by Ms. Pam and Ms. Erin.

★★★★★ — Phyllis, Aug 2021

It’s been a pleasant experience with Ms. Jena and her class! I attended the ballet class, and all the staff were very kind and welcoming. I’d strongly recommend reaching out to them even if you don’t see a class you’re interested in or feel fits you as they’re very supportive and will kindly help you find a course…

Your first ballet class at East West Music and 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.

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.
