★★★★★ — Hannah, May 2017

Miss Marion’s Schoo of Dance helped form my three girls into women of poise, confidence and excellence. Miss Marion, Miss Lori and all of the teachers always instilled the joy of the dance into the students.

★★★★★ — Kathleen, May 2023

We love Miss Marion’s! Lori has been amazing with our group of 3 and 4 year olds! They have learned so much and are having a blast! It has been the best first year of dance for our daughter!

★★★★★ — Caroline, May 2023

I have been taking my daughter her for 9+ years. Mrs. Lori and her staff are wonderful and very concerned for the kids. This is the best studio in the area in my book.

Your first ballet class at Miss Marion's School 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.
