Great environment, great dance instructors, big improvement since my daughters started here.

★★★★★ — Dartmouth, Feb 2022

When Jayda joined dance it was simply because I wanted her to do something with her time. (My family has been involved with dance for as long as I can remember). BUT THIS WEEKEND proved to me she has made more then just friends and showed us what a dance family was all about.

★★★★★ — Jamie, Jun 2024

when my daughter decided she wanted to do gymnastics, i couldn't have found a better place. most places you go for gymnastics its just a gym, but no, not here. they incorporate dance along with it & the kids get a recital at the end of the season!

★★★★★ — Samantha, Oct 2024

Your first ballet class at Leap of Faith

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.
