From the reviews

My daughters have danced here for going on 13 years. I can not say enough good things about this studio…the teachers are so great with little kids, they offer an amazing variety of classes and will help push the kids who are truly pursuing dance to be the best that they can be. They are truly family to us!

I love this studio! I took jazz and tap classes for over 15 years until I moved to Florida. I wish I could find a studio like this here. They offer a range of classes for all ages no matter your skill level. Their instructors are knowledgeable, emphasizing technique in a fun and creative environment!

I enrolled my daughter in ballet classes a year ago, and it turned out to be an incredible experience for both of us. The staff and teacher were truly amazing and provided so much support. We are eagerly anticipating starting again because my daughter keeps expressing how much she misses it.

Your first ballet class at Jeannie Zimbalatti's School of Dance

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.
