From the reviews

Fieldcrest Performing Arts School has been such a blessing to our family. Our daughter has been immersed in their program since she was 5 years old, but we truly saw her confidence blossom post-COVID once we felt safe to go in person again.

★★★★★ — Tanika, Feb 2026

My daughter has been at Fieldcrest Performing Arts School since Age 4 (She is now 12). I can’t say enough good things because it is truly a second home for my daughter.

Fieldcrest is an amazing performing arts school! My daughter is going into her 3rd season there and she absolutely loves it. We love the amazing growth and opportunities that this school has. Since she started, she has had opportunities that she never thought she would be able to experience.

Your first ballet class at Fieldcrest School of Performing 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.
