From the reviews
Such a great dance school! It's very much a family atmosphere where the instructors really get to know each dancer personally. Parents are able to watch in the room any time. The owner Jenny also really goes out of her way to offer fundraisers to offset thr cost of costumes and the year end show. Highly recommend.
Miss Jenny is an absolute gem. She was patient while our girl figured out what dance was all about. Tantrums were thrown and miss Jenny never missed a beat - for as long as she wants to dance it’ll be at Fairgrieve 💗
My daughter started at Fairgrieve School Of Dance when she was just 3 years old, attending their princess summer camp. Now, 12 years later, she continues to dance there regularly, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to stay; even after moving about a half hour away.
I danced here from 4 years old to 11 years old and just loved it! The teachers are amazing and so supportive you make lifetime long friends and much more. Highly Recommend
Adult ballet at Fairgrieve School of Dance
Fairgrieve School of Dance 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 Fairgrieve 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.
