From the reviews

My daughter started dance at another studio and we switched to MSDA after a few years due to better scheduling. We quickly learned that we made a great decision. This studio has the most professional staff. Teachers love the kids and they teach technique, responsibility and fun.

★★★★★ — Janet, Aug 2020

Miller Street was the second dance studio I ever attended and I knew I needed to look no further. I started dance later than most, was certainly not the best, and yet I still received an unrivaled amount of support from my instructors. I can truly say that my teachers cared about me, and wanted to help me succeed.

★★★★★ — Ann-Marie, Sep 2022

My daughter started attending dance classes here in August. She goes every week very excited about class. She says the teachers are very nice, are good dancers and teach well. Her only negative is that she feels that the classes are too short (some only 45 mins) and spend most of the time stretching.

★★★★☆ — Siberon, Oct 2020

This is my daughter's first time dancing at this studio after taking a few years off (she is 8). She is taking tap then hip hop funk and I cant't say enough amazing things about her teacher. She leaves every class so excited for the next. The dance routines she shows me at home are amazing!

Your first ballet class at Miller Street Dance Academy

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.
