From the reviews
My children have been dancing at Flash Pointe Dance for 6 years. The studio provides top quality instruction by fantastic teachers who are dancers themselves, often still performing when not teaching. The teachers are kind & encouraging while making sure that they are providing great technique classes.
I love this studio. My daughter has been a "Flash Pointe dancer" since 2012 and considers it her second home -- which is largely because the staff members are both skilled and nurturing (they have been truly wonderful, from day one, welcoming us into their Flash Pointe family).
My 7 year old loves Flash Pointe Dance! She is a bit timid or shy, and was very hesitant about trying dance at a new studio. The staff welcomed us both immediately, and made us feel at home. My little girl is now spreading her wings and trying hip-hop, which she loves!!
All 3 of my children have attended classes at Flash Pointe. They always come away with a positive feeling about the instructors, the dancing, and most importantly, about themselves. My 13 year old has been dancing with Flash Pointe for 8 years and considers the dancers and staff to be family. It's a very special place.
Adult ballet at Flash Pointe Dance
Flash Pointe 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 Flash Pointe 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.
