From the reviews

My girls have been with Glen Dance for almost 15 years and absolutely love it there. Through the studio, they have not only learned how to dance beautifully, but they have also learned the importance of teamwork, respect and compassion for their peers, and a sense of self-esteem and confidence.

★★★★★ — Christine, Sep 2017

Our family has been part of the Glendance community for years, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this studio. Both of my daughters have danced here for a long time, and the growth I’ve seen in them—both as dancers and as people—has been incredible.

★★★★★ — Allie, Jan 2026

My daughter has been part of Glen Dance Studio for five years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From day one, this studio has been a place where she feels supported, seen, and genuinely excited to show up. She’s built beautiful friendships and her confidence has grown in ways that go far beyond dance.

★★★★★ — Cristal, Jan 2026

Glen Dance Studio has become a second home for my daughter. The teachers are excellent and know how to bring out the best of each child. The Company has been an incredibly rewarding experience, teaching my daughter that hard work, perseverance (and fun) pay off.

Your first ballet class at Glen Dance Studio

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.
