From the reviews
My daughter is 5 and I just registered her for kpop classes, she’s a first timer. But let me say from start to finish and everything in between, even with all my questions, the owner Kelley was attentive, quick to respond to me even on weekends via text. I definitely recommend reaching out to inquire. She is amazing!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about En Pointe Dance Studio. From the moment we joined, we have been incredibly impressed with the quality of the program and the care shown to every dancer. Even at just three years old, my daughter is truly flourishing.
I started dancing at En Pointe when I was younger, after watching Dance Moms and deciding I needed to be on a competition team. My mom signed me up for a ballet class because my cousin danced there, and even though I started a little later, it ended up being such a huge part of my life and one of the best things we…
My seven year old daughter wanted to try dance and I came across En Pointe Dance. I sent a message on their website and got a text message very fast giving me all the information I requested. Kelley has been absolutely amazing and whenever I message her she responds quickly with any questions I have.
Adult ballet at En Pointe
En Pointe runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at En Pointe
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.
