From the reviews

Both of our daughters started dancing at Helmer Dance Studio at age two. After nine years, we've been a part of both recreational and competition lines. The studio is very convenient with easy access off I-94 in Hudson. The teachers and staff are amazing - always very approachable and responsive.

I could not think of a better place to had spent my last ten years of dance. I can not express enough on how professional, dedicated, and truly caring the teachers & staff are. They exceed your expectations. Watching the kids grow with nothing but passion, skills, and teamwork.

We are absolutely blown away — 10/10 experience! We hosted my daughter's birthday party at Helmer Dance and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that so much thought, time, and care went into every detail.

Your first ballet class at Helmer Dance Studio

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.
