The programs they offer
From the reviews
We now have three generations of my family who have attended the dance studio...I simply can't say enough great things about the studio and all the staff! Highly recommended!
Incredibly dedicated staff and fun learning environment. There's a variety of classes for all age groups. Really great place to learn to dance.
The pole classes and vertical barre classes are awesome! Tessa and Tara are amazing instructors! This is the place to come if you want to learn pole!!
Adult ballet at Jo-Ann's Dance Studio-The Performing Arts Centre
Jo-Ann's Dance Studio-The Performing Arts Centre runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Jo-Ann's Dance Studio-The Performing Arts Centre
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.
