Karina School of dance The dance studio is a great and safe place. My daughter has been in this studio for 2 years and I have never had problems. The service at the studio is great. The receptionist is the best! She’s always smiling and greeting everyone.

★★★★★ — Sergio, Jan 2018

My niece was always so shy. She never wanted to make friends or talk to other kids. I thought dance would be a good way to get her out of her shell. BOY WAS I RIGHT. After her first class, she came home so excited and ready to go back again!!

★★★★★ — Rayana, Dec 2023

This school is one of the safest dance school it’s been there for me multiple times such as payment plans,pick ups and food need for my girls. I’m a single mom of two and my husband passed away a year ago and then have been there for me like if they’re my family this is an amazing power couple.

Your first ballet class at Karina's 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.

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.
