From the reviews

Friendly, warm, inviting place to MOVE YOUR BODY. So much in just one place! Dance for the kids, dance for you, dance for the fun of it. Spectacular shows produced twice a year. Amazing array of dance clothing, accessories AND easy parking. My favorite are the fitness classes, taught by the incomparable Mary Switzer.

Your first ballet class at Lakeshore Academy of the Arts

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.
