From the reviews
As someone who just recently graduated in 2022 and left the dance program, I could not have been more satisfied with my time there. I have danced at a lot of studios, Morita's was the best. I was given amazing opportunities, wonderful friends, time management skills, and a creative way to express myself.
My daughter has been going there for over 3 years now. We drive over an hour every Saturday just to bring her there, so that should tell ya what a wonderful studio it is. Very clean, & the staff are amazing with the children!!
First time doing dance with my 3 year old and she LOVES it! Everyone is helpful and attentive. I have been to other dance studios in the area with my older kids and hated it. So I definitely recommend this studio.
Very nice studio. Staff are excellent and they are taking appropriate safety measures to ensure safety. My daughter loves it there.
Adult ballet at Morita's School of Dance
Morita's School of Dance 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 Morita'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.
