Mariana's is truly outstanding combining a deep commitment to its students with exceptional choreography and a strong track record in competitions. The instructors genuinely care about each dancer’s growth, creating a supportive and inspiring environment that builds both skill and confidence.
I have been dancing at Mariana’s for pretty much all of my life and I regret absolutely nothing. My time spent here has been the absolute best in my life. Not only is the instruction and choreography amazing, the students are the sweetest, most supportive people you will ever meet.
I have been dancing here for six years now and it has been the best experience of my life. Everyone is so nice and all the girls on my team have become my sisters. The choreographers are amazing and every class is always fun. I learn so much everyday and I wouldn’t want to dance anywhere else!
Your first ballet class at Mariana's Dancing Studio
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.
