From the reviews

CESOD is so much more than a dance studio! The teachers will support you and push you to become the best dancer and person you can be! I have been a member of the Silver Lining Dance Competition Team for three years now, and my team members are like sisters to me! I have danced here for a number of years however.

Wonderful studio. Mallory is so passionate about dance, that creates this successful loving and caring environment. She keeps abreast with fresh new ideas and learning, not afraid to grow, not afraid to make her own bounds. Thank you Mallory and keep up girl! 🥰💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺

★★★★★ — Annabelle, Jul 2017

In this studio, there are four pink walls. That's our home away from home. We have lived a lot of our lives in those walls. The teachers love all of the dancers, even when they don't feel loved. The environment that they provide for us is both loving and challenging.

Your first ballet class at Mallory Ward 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.

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.
