From the reviews

We’ve been trying to find a beginning place for my 4 year old who can be a bit shy and unsure when starting a new activity. We’ve tried a few studios and tbh weren’t a good fit. They were very busy, small and/or I wasn’t able to watch her or her see me.

We went in for a trial class and my daughter had the best time! The staff was so kind and welcoming. My daughter loved the class so much that we signed up to come back before we even left. Great location, clean studio, and a fun class atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for their child’s dance home.

★★★★★ — Angelica, Oct 2025

This is a great dance school! So welcoming and inclusive 😊. My son is in the teen hip-hop class and he looks forward to going to class every week. Tuition is reasonably priced. The instructors are very talented, the students are very friendly and the staff is very professional. 10 out of 10 recommend!!

★★★★★ — Flory, Sep 2024

We love doing our Pre Dance at Metropolitan. My daughter always has a great time, and has meet a few little friends. We started with a Summer Camp and will probably do that again this Summer.

Your first ballet class at Metropolitan 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.

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.
