From the reviews
We have been dancing at Linda Kinlaw School of Dance for 3 years now. I was very impressed with how much my 3 year old learned in her first year. I couldn't believe how much terminology my toddler was able to recite after only a few months.
My daughter has been dancing here for about a year now (once she turned 2), and we absolutely love it! We intend to continue her time with Linda Kinlaw’s as long as we are in the area. Immediately greeting by smiling staff and dancers, we felt at home.
After trying two other dance studios before this one for my daughter, I found the quality of instruction superior than the others. Three years later, my daughter has come so far and genuinely has become attached to all the instructors!
My 9-year-old daughter has been dancing at this studio for over a year now, and I must admit, this is by far the best facility we have been to! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and they TEACH the children. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone that wants their child to succeed in dance!
Adult ballet at Linda Kinlaw School of Dance
Linda Kinlaw School of Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Linda Kinlaw School of Dance
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.
