From the reviews
Ten plus years with this dance studio. The owner runs her studio with great care. She truly cares about each student. She keeps things as serious and professional as possible yet still acknowledges that the students have lives outside of dance and allows room for extra activities and school.
My daughter began dancing at JOBA at 3 years old and danced there for 3 seasons. It was wonderful experience with great teachers and a very organized dance studio. My daughter learned the important foundations of dance, but most importantly she had fun and a love of dance was instilled in her.
It’s my son’s home away from home! JOBA has a warm and inviting atmosphere where the students thrive!
"Hey Elyse...I got a groupon...wanna bring the girls to dance?" So thankful my sister-in-law asked me that 5 years ago. We enrolled them and haven't left. Whether you're in it for the fun or plan to hit the competition circuit, Just Off Broadway paves the way with professionalism, superior talent and without…
Adult ballet at Just off Broadway Performing Arts Academy
Just off Broadway Performing Arts Academy 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 Just off Broadway Performing Arts Academy
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.
