From the reviews

Wish we had discovered this studio years ago! They truly care about every person that walks through their doors (dancer, parent, volunteer, etc) and will share all their love, tradition, and expertise with you and yours. They teach growth and dedication with poise and positivity.

★★★★★ — Rheanna, Sep 2025

HDT set a firm technical and artistic foundation in ballet for my daughter. The teachers and directors care for their students and help them attain their goals. There are many performance and outreach opportunities as dancers grow and mature.

Your first ballet class at Huntington Dance Theatre

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.
