From the reviews
Julie Lang Studio of dance has been our dance home for over a decade. My daughter is excited to go for her 10 year award next season, and my son is following in her footsteps--learning to love dance too! We love the teachers and the fun & friendly atmosphere. Very strong family connections. Highly recommend.
JLS is not just a dance studio, it is a family! The studio provides a safe, friendly and fun learning environment. The students motivate and encourage one another and the teachers are professional and experienced. My kids are very excited to go to class each week and then don't want to leave when it's time to go.
We have had the opportunity to have worked closely with Julie Lang's Dance Studio over the past couple of years, and we are so excited to work with their dance community again. They have a variety of classes and they have some of the best teachers in CT!
My son just finished Hip Hop camp this week and he LOVED it! He was sad it was over! Our experience has been very positive at this dance school, all of my kids enjoy the variety of lessons offered and we are happy to be a part of this studio!
Adult ballet at Julie Lang Studio of Dance
Julie Lang Studio of Dance 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 Julie Lang 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.
