“Kelly allowed us to try summer classes with the company kids and told us no matter if we decided to stay or leave there was room for my daughter somewhere on the team.”
What families & students say
From the reviews
As an actual parent of a current student, I can speak first hand about the quality of this school. The teachers are excellent and it is a great atmosphere for the kids. My daughter, who is a headstrong wanna be pop star, has learned so much over the past 3 years and regularly communicates how much she likes it there.
As a graduate of For Dancers Only, (dancing with Miss Kelly and her team from age 2 to 18) and now a teacher at this wonderful studio, I am so proud to be a part of this family. I have my work ethic, resilience, determination, and artistry all because of my training here. Thank you, FDO. I am so grateful for you.
Coming from another local dance studio where we were for 8 years this place is like night and day. Wish I made the move sooner. We were told by her old studio she wasn’t allowed to be on the Junior company after taking a year off to do dance team (less competitive) even though she was working so hard and training all…
Excellent school! Friendly and talented staff who have been running this wonderful dance school for many years..Definitely recommend!
Your first ballet class at For Dancers Only
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.
