From the reviews
We joined Ms. Frances dance studio this year and is has been nothing short of amazing in every way. We moved to the area last year and came from a very competitive dance studio, where all that mattered was how good you were and being the star of the show.
Highly recommend Miss Frances’ Dance Studio! She is an amazing instructor… the perfect blend of structured and firm but loving and personable. She relates well with the students, encourages them, challenges them, & caters her instruction to their individual levels and needs.
I love Miss Frances! She is so positive and kind! She knows how to teach dance, but she still makes it fun!
Adult ballet at Frances Dance Studio
Frances Dance Studio 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 Frances Dance Studio
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.
