I recently moved back to the area, and Laurel Arts is a great place to meet local artists and take a variety of classes! I already took the Beginner's Clay class with Bridget Mayak - we are hoping she does an intermediate clay class!!

We had a excellent experience. Alyson was extremely helpful. Had a personal tour of the museum by Kathy Reed. She is very talented and knowledgeable regarding the paper cutting art we saw. We purchased two pieces of art and are extremely happy we did.

Your first ballet class at Laurel 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.
