From the reviews
Our family absolutely loves Galaxy Dance Arts. My children (ages 8 and 13) have been attending since it opened. We are very pleased with the challenging lessons and joyful teachings of all of the friendly highly qualified dance teachers.
Galaxy Dance Arts has been amazing for my daughters (8 & 10 years old)! My girls thrive in Hip Hop with Mr. Marco and have loved it since their very first class. It has been a challenging time during COVID and Ms. Tori has done everything to go above and beyond to keep everyone healthy and exercising.
My daughter has been a student of Galaxy Dance Arts since it opened, and from the first day has loved being a part of this very professional, clean and caring studio. She was lucky enough to have been a ballet student of the owner, Tori, when Tori taught at Bellissima Dance Arts.
Galaxy is such a wonderful dance studio. My niece has attended classes there for about a year and Miss Tori the owner and Miss Ari (my niece’s teacher) have been nothing but awesome. The teachers seem to care not only about proper form but also about the wellbeing of their students.
Adult ballet at Galaxy Dance Arts
Galaxy Dance Arts runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Galaxy Dance Arts
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.
