From the reviews

I have been a member of Good Move almost 2 years and finding this studio has been one of the best things to happen to me ever. The instructors are warm, knowledgeable, and always give modifications when necessary. They offer dance, Pilates, and yoga classes for students of all levels.

★★★★★ — Emma, Sep 2021

Hands down my favorite studio in Williamsburg. Such an awesome and welcoming community with a huge variety of open level classes (dance, Pilates, yoga). Classes are reasonably priced, with class packs and membership and its such a beautiful space with bathrooms and changing rooms.

★★★★★ — Renee, Sep 2021

Really love this studio! The classes and overall ambience of the space are unparalleled in the neighborhood. The “Core and restore” is a favorite of mine, the Pilates that they integrate into several of the other classes is also wonderful. Cannot speak more highly of this spot!

Your first ballet class at GOOD MOVE

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.
