From the reviews
Marcia Hyland Dance and Arts Center is a dance studio for all generations! I have been with Marcia Hyland since I was 8 years old and am still there, even in my thirties. My sister attended Marcia Hyland and now my children attend here.
We have been going here since my oldest daughter was 3 years old (she will be 10 this summer). Warm, friendly staff, very reasonable priced, and the staff genuinely want the girls to learn. Progressive dance techniques where the kids can be placed in a challenging level if desired. overall highly recommend!
The best dance center! My daughter’s confidence has grown exponentially each year she’s attended….they are so good with little ones. The end of year show is amazing. Our family looks forward to it every year.
My daughter has been going here for 2 years. This school and the staff are amazing! Miss Gerry is super nice and friendly makes everyone feel welcome
Adult ballet at Marcia Hyland Dance & Arts Center
Marcia Hyland Dance & Arts Center 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 Marcia Hyland Dance & Arts Center
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.
