From the reviews

We love Haven Dance! My preschool daughter can be very shy and timid when trying new things, and Ms. Joslum has been so welcoming and has helped her come out of her shell so much! The smaller class sizes allows for more individual instruction if needed, which is great especially for the younger kiddos.

★★★★★ — Krissy, Feb 2024

Our daughter has had such an incredible experience at Haven Dance! Her excitement and love for dance have grown every week. Ms Joslyn is a wonderful teacher who knows how to lead a room of littles so well. Our daughter comes away with more skill and joy after every class.

★★★★★ — Tiphani, Feb 2024

Highly recommend Haven Dance! My daughter has loved taking dance lessons with Mrs. Joslyn. Her genuine passion for teaching coupled with her extensive dance experience truly differentiates her from other dance teachers we have had in the past.

★★★★★ — Jenn, Aug 2023

Our daughter started Haven at the beginning of the year and we love it! Jocelyn is so great with the littles (my daughter just turned two and is in the dance with me class).

★★★★★ — Christy, Feb 2024

Your first ballet class at Haven 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.

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.
