From the reviews
Ms. Amanda is an amazing dance teacher. My child has her for lyrical and ballet 1. She is very technical so that all of her students know the correct forms from the very beginning of their dance careers.
My daughter has been dancing with Ms. Lisa since 18 months. She is now 8. She is currently in her fifth season on the competition team. We adore the warm and close environment at the studio! This is truly our second home as we can be in the studio for hours on any given day.
I highly recommend Ms. Lisa’s Dance Studio. It was my second home throughout my entire childhood, and I miss it every day. I started dancing with Ms. Lisa at the age of four, began competing at eight, and had the honor of performing as the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker at seventeen.
My daughter has been dancing at Ms. Lisa's since she was 3 and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of learning, support and love that Ms. Lisa and all of her teachers give to their students (big and small).
Adult ballet at Ms. Lisa's Dance
Ms. Lisa's 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 Ms. Lisa's 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.
