From the reviews
My three year old experienced her first camp at HELLO DANCER! The owners, April and Thomas, as well and all of the staff at Hello Dancer, go above and beyond to make sure that every child and every parent is welcomed warmly.
From the minute you enter the studios of Hello Dancer, creativity and professionalism abound. From the comfortable and open viewing rooms to the thoughtful educational dance posters, Hello Dancer is clearly a special and joyful place for children to learn to dance.
I cannot recommend Hello Dancer enough! I have a 5 year old daughter who has never been in an activity before, and she was very apprehensive and nervous about it. After reaching out to Miss April and explaining our situation we set up a time where we could go shadow a class.
I can't say enough good things about Hello Dancer! This crew is so friendly and so accommodating, you'll wish you were in the classes with the kids. The space is teeming with bright colors, creating a fun, welcoming, and happy environment for the kiddos to dance.
Your first ballet class at Hello Dancer
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.
