From the reviews

My daughter has been attending Ms. Helen’s class for 3 years, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very first day until now, Ms. Helen has always taught with genuine care, passion, and a strong sense of responsibility. She treats each child as special and gives her full attention to helping them grow.

My daughter has been attending the Helen Ballet Dance Academy for 5 years. She loves going to her academy because her teacher is very kind and teach well. And her legs are growing very straight. She also enjoys doing solo and group performances at end of year festivals. My family love hellen ballet very much.

Ms Helen's dance studio is number #1! My 3 year old daughter loves coming here and always asks if today is dance day. We love all the pictures and videos that they sent us and I can tell how much my daughter enjoys it. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Christy, Oct 2024

Ms. Helen is very kind and good at teaching. I like how flexible the schedule and make-up are in case something comes up and I also love how the class is 1hr and 45mins(I feel they get to learn a lot more). Both my daughters has been attending Ms.

Your first ballet class at Helen Ballet 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.

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.
