From the reviews

Nothing but pure LOVE for this studio and all of the staff!!!!! I can’t with the obvious trolling attempt below, as our experience has been above and beyond. My daughter has danced for Frances for 6 years now and still going strong. In addition, she and has also been with her company team Helix, for 2 years.

Amazing community. Like one big family. They inspire me to be a better human everyday. Teachers are incredible, understanding, and truly care about their students. Feels like home ❤️

★★★★★ — Madison, Oct 2025

Frances Mohler Dance is truly the most incredible, accepting, and loving dance environment I have ever experienced. As someone who grew up dancing, I can truly say that not only is the studio as a whole such a supportive environment for dancers to grow within their technique, but it’s also somewhere that dancers can…

★★★★★ — Taylor, May 2026

Very impressed! Frances is a professional instructor who not only teaches dance but instills confidence in her students. She encourages them to do their best and pushes them to meet their goals. My granddaughter has grown so much since dancing with Frances. They have fun but also work hard.

Your first ballet class at Frances Mohler Dance Company

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.
