From the reviews

One final note: a handful of instructors play their music LOUD. If you value your hearing, you may need to invest in earplugs for some classes to ward of the headache and ear pain of the day after.

★★★★☆ — Marc, Jan 2021

This is place is amazing I think of it as my home. I love the teachers they teach me so much. I have gotten better technically and flexibility wise. They are so loving and I have grown to be a confident dancer. I also love all the dancers there.

Your first ballet class at Katie's Dance Studio & Co

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.
