From the reviews
My two daughters, Keira (4) and Zara (6), absolutely love going to Greendale Dance Academy! The teachers are incredibly kind, talented, and professional. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and supported. Ms. Melissa, the owner, has been especially wonderful.
Both of my daughter’s have/currently dance here and we love it. As a single mom, it is perfect for my price range and still get a top quality dance experience. We love Greendale.
Great dance program. My daughter enjoys all her classes and is thriving. Miss Melissa and Mr. Pete, care about both the students and the parents.

Your first ballet class at Greendale Dance Academy
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.
