From the reviews
This is without a doubt one of the best dance studios in the area. The owner and director, Mary Jo Rimke, not only teaches her students to love dance but also to embrace the joy that comes with it as they grow and gain self-confidence.
My daughter has been going to Emjaez for three years now. She was very reluctant to try dance but with great teachers and a great environment dance is now the absolute favorite part of her week. I love how they keep it fun for the kids while still teaching them great skills!
My daughter is 6 years old and is now about to begin her 4th year at Emjaez. She absolutely loves going to class, has progressed so much, and has become so much more confident these last few years as a result of attending class at this studio.
MaryJo puts her soul and heart into everything at this dance studio. She’s a great instructor and loves people …. Genuinely enjoys her students.
Your first ballet class at Emjaez Dance Studio
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.
