From the reviews

My daughter just wrapped her 10th year with Jillian's! We have loved it here since day one. My daughter started when she was just turning 4 and has done ballet, tap, hip hop, lyrical and one of her favorites, musical Theater. My other daughter did two years but, dance isn't her thing.

★★★★★ — Jenny, Jun 2019

This dance studio has been a great experience throughout my daughter's 11 years. The owner's Dave and Jill are so amazing in have treated my daughter and family with so much respect, love, and honesty. I honestly love this studio, and know it is best for my kids, because they love it!

★★★★★ — Natasha, Sep 2018

It takes a village to raise children to be successful. It also takes dignity and integrity for those children to be successful. I believe both Jill and Dave possess those values.

★★★★★ — Rebekah, Jun 2019

Your first ballet class at Jillian'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.
