From the reviews

Both of my daughters (6 and 9 years old) have been taking gymnastics for the past 6 months at the Belle Cooledge location. So far, the coaches have been fantastic! They really take their time to teach the correct techniques to each child.

My 5 year old daughter has been going to gymnastics with Joanna for 2 years now and I love it and so does she. Joanna is old school and I love the structure she provides. My daughter learns so much working with Joanna. Only thing I wish is that Joanna had other apparatuses like the Vault, Balance Beam etc.

★★★★☆ — Renee, Nov 2014

Update 2: My daughter has been dancing with JKRI for almost 10 years. She has gained confidence and is excited to dance. Both kids still live gymnastics also. We are so grateful to Joanna for all she does for our family. 💜 Update: My daughter has been with Joanna for 7 years and is doing Dance and Gymnastics.

Your first ballet class at Joanna's Kids R It

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.
