“My daughter has truly found her place among this dance community and really loves it.”
“Fast-forward to now, I got my pointe shoes last year and will be continuing to dance this coming year at pretty high levels of Ballet at another dance school.”
From the reviews
I did the teen/adult class here in 2019 with Mr. Cummings as the instructor, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Everyone in the class was so nice and willing to help me learn and succeed. It had been years since I'd done Ballet and Mr. Cummings really took the time to help me get back into Ballet.
Mr. Mark (owner) is very friendly and encouraging to all the dancers and parents. Miss Celina (ballet mistress) has been teaching my oldest for eight years now and is just wonderful. Miss Rose teaches the littles and is absolutely amazing with them (including my youngest).
Wonderful dance studio, wonderful teachers and students. My daughter has truly found her place among this dance community and really loves it.
Your first ballet class at Gary Geis 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.
