From the reviews
My husband and I have taken private lessons for a few years now. Leslie is excellent, very patient, creative and positive. We also have gone to her group lessons. She listens to what you want, and really individualizes her teaching to meet your needs.
Leslie makes learning partner dances fun! I really enjoy her teaching style. Thanks Leslie, for helping me be a better dancer!
Leslie taught me and my fiancée waltz well and choreographed our wedding dance. Highly recommended!
Your first ballet class at Leslie Sack Dance Studio
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.
