From the reviews

I danced at Jo Ann Warren Studio 20+ years ago and it was an awesome experience. Now my daughter has been dancing there for 3+ years participating in their regular season and summer programs.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jul 2023

Affordable, high quality, fun and engaging dance instruction! My 4 and 7 year olds LOVE it at JoAnn Warren. Convenient location and diverse clientele, which is important to our family. Both my kids only have ONE costume for the recital (with different props for each song) which this mom's wallet REALLY appreciates.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Jan 2024

Took a dance class for the first time in 20 years.... and I can not wait to go back! Glad I made it in.... it immediately felt like home.

★★★★★ — Inez, Nov 2021

Jo Ann Warren Studio or JAWS as most of us refer to has been a second home & family to my daughter and I for her entire life. She began dance classes here at 2yrs old after watching her cousins dance here for years before her.

Your first ballet class at Jo Ann Warren Studio

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.
