★★★★★ — Mashannon, May 2023

We have been at Endeavor for the past 5 years and feel like we have grown up here! We have loved the community we have built here and a place to call home. Our daughter has grown beautifully over the years and we owe it to Shannon and all of the wonderful staff and choreographers we have worked with over the years!

★★★★★ — Amy, May 2023

We have two girls (now teens) who have been dancing at the studio for the past 5+ years. They have both grown as dancers and gone from recreation dancers to the competition team. They are there to dance and learn and get better and they have… and are beautiful dancers!

Your first ballet class at Endeavor School of the Arts

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.
