“My daughter LOVES her intermediate ballet class at Franklin School of Dance!”
From the reviews
47 years ago, one of the best times in my life !!! Took everything including baton for the Parades, Hawaiian instead of hip hop at that time. Shows were just like being on Broadway with all the beautiful costume changes ~ a dream come true, like That's Entertainment !
Your first ballet class at Franklin School of 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.
