From the reviews

I just want to say all the staff at Jersey Cape is top tier. They're so experienced and also dedicated to the kid's that come through their doors, especially Miss Louise. My daughter Genevieve loves taking classes here and looks forward to it every week. Keep up the good work!

Great dance and gymnastics school. My daughter loves it here. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly to everyone. The classrooms are always clean as well as the waiting areas.

★★★★★ — Cape, Feb 2024

We loved the toddler combo class soo much with Ms. Louise, This year my girl wanted to stay with her and try into to gymnastics- despite any hesitation i had about my lil baby learning flips (yikes!) I trust the staff completely. It was the right choice- her little confidence explodes when she sticks a landing.

Your first ballet class at Jersey Cape Dance & Gymnastics Academy

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.
