From the reviews
Miss Holly is one of the most caring, welcoming teachers I've ever met! From the first time you meet her, you can tell she cares about every student that walks through her door. I can't recommend Miss Holly enough!
Holly's Dance is the most warm and welcoming studio we have ever been to. My son has grown leaps and bounds in his ballet training under Miss Mandy in just one year.
I always get a good laugh at reading any reviews from amazon to, in this case, dance studios. Nobody every takes the time to say it was OK-here's 3-stars, it's either 1 star or 5 stars. You always take the 5 stars with a grain of salt because you don't know the author.
Holly and her staff are amazing!! Highly recommend this studio! My daughter has danced there for 8 years, & her teammates & the staff became her second family. It’s very unfortunate that people are giving the studio a bad review because they aren’t happy with their children’s team placement, or some other personal…
Adult ballet at Holly's Dance & Mentorship
Holly's Dance & Mentorship runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Holly's Dance & Mentorship
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.
