From the reviews
I can not say enough amazing things about this school. Hazel’s is owned by 2 sisters and it is named after their grandmother who kept them in dance their whole lives. Dance tuition is reasonable. Small dance family and class ratio. 2 teachers and 2 student teachers.
Very nice and professional. The kids really do learn the basics of dance. It’s great for a child’s development and growth. I highly recommend it
An amazing dance school. The teachers are so hands on and warm. The kids learn so much and are genuinely excited the entire time.
Your first ballet class at Hazel's 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.
