★★★★★ — Chloe, Jun 2020

Absolutely love this dance studio! It’s such a wonderful part of our Novato community. Both of our kids have taken classes and done summer camp at Love2Dance. Tara and the instructors are so kind and joyful, and they provide a warm environment for the kids to develop their confidence and express themselves freely.

★★★★★ — Katherine, Oct 2024

L2D hosted my daughters 4th birthday party and absolutely crushed it! Roughly 25 kids plus parents/family and they did an amazing job with setup, hosting, and cleanup. Parents came up to us and told us how amazing it was and most importantly, the kids had a blast and were exhausted afterwards.

Your first ballet class at Love2Dance

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.
