Maryna has been training my daughter for several years, and I credit her with shaping her feet, form, and overall technique. Thanks to Maryna’s high standards and dedicated guidance, my daughter has grown into a stronger, more refined dancer.
My daughter has been attending this school for two years and we love it! Flexible make up schedule, yearly concert shows and very friendly owner and manager!
Great school. Marina is a dancer and choreographer with multiple accolades. You child will learn a lot and become healthier and more disciplined.
Your first ballet class at Lesko Ballet Academy
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.
