From the reviews
My wife attended JHO, and now, my daughter, since she was 3 years old (now almost 15). This dance family, is exactly that, a family.They are phenomenal teachers and much like any form of art or sport, they expect thier students to put in the work, to learn, to grow, to push themselves and most importantly, to be…
The Jackson family and staff go above and beyond for their students. Their kindness, passion for dance, knowledge and experience is what makes them truly the best. Not only do they become like family through the years, but the students themselves form lifelong friendships.
Very welcoming staff and professional level of teaching. They wholeheartedly care for every student that comes through their studio doors. Very happy with my daughters experience at JHO!
JHO is an incredible organization. Stephen and Canan become like family. They truly care about each student and they are incredible teachers. Highly recommend John Hayes O'Neill!
Your first ballet class at John Hayes O’Neil Studio 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.
