This is my daughters second year of dancing at Lokahi Dance. it’s been such a positive experience for my daughter and for us as the parents. The instructors are kind and patient, and they create a safe, encouraging space for dancers to learn and grow.

My 7 year old has been dancing at Lokahi Dance studio since she was 3 years old. She absolutely loves going to class and learning many different types. She has taken ballet, jazz/hip hop, acro, and modern combo. The owner Bria is super easy to talk to and a wonderful dance teacher.

Your first ballet class at Lōkahi 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.
