★★★★★ — Elizabeth, May 2023

We’ve sent our two 2 little ones (6 and 4) here for a few years now and have had a great experience. Our kids love learning to dance here and are currently taking ballet and tap classes. They love their teachers and always come away with big happy smiles after class. Mrs. Lizzie, Ms. C, Ms, Sophia and Ms.

★★★★★ — Deborah, Oct 2018

Jessica and her staff have been nothing short of amazing. They offer every opportunity to grow while never pressuring parents or dancers to do more than they’d like. It is such a warm, inviting community & we couldn’t be happier with our experience over the years!

Your first ballet class at Flatirons 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.
