From the reviews

We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of service that FVDM provides. We have been there for ten years and our daughter takes numerous classes. Each year, she has improved her dance skills while having fun in each class. The recitals are top notch, with the best music, costumes, lighting and choreography.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Mar 2025

From the moment you walk through the doors at FVDM you are greeted by the friendly staff and the family environment the studio emulates. The space is always impeccably clean and the owners are extremely organized and thorough with communication to both parents and students.

★★★★★ — Allesandra, May 2023

We love FVDM! We have been part of the FVDM family for 10 years, they are a non-competitive studio which is what I wanted for my daughters, yet they are very professional, the recital is always amazing. Is a professional yet warm family environment, and we are so happy that we have chosen them ♥️

Your first ballet class at Farmington Valley Dance & Music, LLC

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.
