From the reviews
Ms. Jessica Hindman, owner and teacher, is the reason my daughter is on the road to a professional dance career. She opened an amazing world for Kaitlin, giving her a love for dance, technique, and creativity. Jessica did this all with patience and encouragement.
So happy my daughters had the privilege, for well over a decade , to receive dance instruction at ESDA! It’s an amazing place to learn to dance, to have fun while doing it! It’s also an awesome place for quality instruction for those who hope to have a dance career!
My daughter has been dancing at ESDA since she was 3 and loves it there. She has amazing teachers that not only teach her about dance, but also about life. The countless opportunities provided through ESDA have allowed her to travel throughout the US to participate in a variety of dance experiences.
Our daughter, Claire, has danced with this studio since she was 11 months old. Jessica has not only held a pivotal role in her developing her dance skillset, but has been an advocate for team work, accountability, and future goals.
Your first ballet class at Eastern Shore Dance Academy
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.
