From the reviews
My 6 year old daughter loves Melody Lane. She's been dancing for the last 4 years, but in the last 3 months we made the switch to Melody Lane and we're seeing so much growth in her dance. She LOVE, LOVES all the teachers- Ms. Sami, Ms. Kat, Ms. Jara, Ms. Ginger.
The team at Melody Lane has taught our daughter dance for the last three years. She takes Triple Threat and Ballet currently. The progress she has made in those three years is impressive, BUT what is even more impressive is the confidence they have taught her, the kindness, responsibility and determination.
All 3 of my girls have been doing Competition Dance Team or participating in the theater productions since the doors opened. The dance instruction they have gotten has been terrific! These talented teachers are kind and caring and truly want my children to succeed.
Their summer program was my 4.5-year-old child’s first experience with both formal dance classes AND being away from home all day. She LOVED EVERY MOMENT. The teachers’ backgrounds are highly trained in diverse styles, and all the staff are so kid-friendly.
Adult ballet at Melody Lane Performing Arts Center
Melody Lane Performing 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 Melody Lane Performing 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.
