From the reviews
We are some of June Taylor's biggest fans. My daughters attended for many years and I hope my granddaughters will too. As a parent, I took great comfort that she teaches them not only to be beautiful dancers, but also to become beautiful people.
My daughter has been dancing at June Taylor's School of Dance for six years. She absolutely loves ballet and adores her teachers. The training she has received from Miss June and her staff has been superb. As a parent, I appreciate the professional instruction as well as the nurturing environment for young children.

My daughter just started ballet here this year. She has danced in the past but really wanted to expand her study in ballet. June Taylor and her staff have been so wonderful in helping my daughter to grow technically in ballet, as well as in confidence as a dancer.
Adult ballet at June Taylor School of Dance
June Taylor School 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 June Taylor School 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.
