This is such a great ballet school! My daughter has been attending for several years since she was 4. Each year they lay the foundation for the next year. If you wish to send your child to a ballet school that can give them the tools and techniques to proceed to the next level each year, this is the school for you!

The Mount Dora School of Ballet is a wonderful school of dance.. My daughter has danced here since age 4 and learned so much. Not just ballet but also poise, grace, the importance of physical activity, confidence, discipline, teamwork. I could go on and on.

Your first ballet class at Mt Dora School of Ballet

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.
