From the reviews

I am a current student at Fain School of Dance and I have been a dancer here for almost 12 amazing years!! That studio is a second home to me, from the moment you walk in those doors you feel like family...actually I take that back, you ARE family. Mrs.

I can't say enough about how great this dance school is...my daughter took dancing from the Fain's for 15 years! They have been in business for 63 years...that record alone speaks volumes about the type of dance school they run. Parents and grandparents are bringing their children back year after year...

Your first ballet class at Fain School 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.
