My 3 year old daughter is new to the school but absolutely loves it! The school is way more than just dance but helps with confidence, character building, and promotes overall growth. I'm so excited to have my daughter involved with this awesome school!

★★★★★ — Angelic, Oct 2018

My daughter Alana has been with FTLOD since she was 5 years old. She's now 11. She has grown so much and she loves it! Paris and her dance instructors are very knowledgeable, attentive, and most importantly, they care about each and every one of their students. I couldn't think of any where else for Alana to be.

★★★★★ — Linda, Oct 2017

Your first ballet class at For The Love Of Dance School

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.
