From the reviews
My daughter has been a part of Garden Street since she was 3, and now at 8 years old, the growth we’ve seen in her extends far beyond just her dancing skills. The way the children genuinely support one another, combined with the staff’s sweet yet challenging approach, has made all the difference.
My daughter joined garden street performing art school when she was 4. She took her 1st ballet class there. Our initial thoughts was to find something to occupy her free time and make her happy, but she surprised us by making into the competition team.
i vaguely remember performing here as a child. i did a marylin monroe solo number that lives in infamy. xox
The space is beautiful. We love the teachers. The owner is so nice. Great experience here.
Your first ballet class at Garden Street School of the Performing 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.
