From the reviews

En L’air has truly been a home away from home for my 11 year old daughter for the past 6 years. Ms. Jen and her staff create a safe, fun, and exciting environment for their students to participate in a variety of dance genres.

★★★★★ — Jodi, Aug 2022

En L'air Studio of Dance is one of a kind. My daughter started at the studio when she was 18 months old and we could not be happier. The instructors are kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Each class is highly engaging and you can tell that the instructors care about each and every dancer.

★★★★★ — Micaela, Dec 2024

En L'air is an amazing dance studio. My daughter will be going into her 6th year dancing there. Jen embraces the girls to feel confident and supportive of each other. Everyone feels accepted for who they are. We could have not picked a better studio for our daughter! We look forward to many more years there!

I’ve been taking my daughter to the wiggles and giggles class ever since she turned 18 mos. and she has already fallen in love with the world of dance!

Your first ballet class at En L'air Studio of 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.
