From the reviews
All of the teachers are great, and the studio is like a home away from home! The dance environment that Natalia has spent time creating is truly so special. I have met some of my best friends through the studio and we all support each other no matter what we are going through.
Genuine love & passion for both the Art of dance & the people shines through in this place. Hard work, dedication & the drawing out the best of each student as a whole person is just amazing to take in. My granddaughters growth in her dancing as well as her confidence has soared in such a short time.
The best dance academy EVER. We love the Mallory Family, and they love our children. Such a great learning environment, filled with awesome families, who want all children to succeed and grow!
Natalia is amazing!!! I cannot say enough good things about this dance academy. The environment feels like a big family. Both of my girls love dance class
Your first ballet class at Mallory Academy 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.
