From the reviews

My oldest daughter has been at MusicWorks for a little over 2 years and it has been such an incredible experience for her! We initially chose MusicWorks over other local dance companies because we were looking for something just for fun and non-competitive.

★★★★★ — Leah, Jul 2024

My son takes the hip hop acrobat class. He loves it! Ms. Kathryn is such a great teacher and she's so good with the kids.

★★★★★ — Candra, May 2023

Everyone was friendly. I was the oldest one in the class but there was no judgement. Lot's of fun!

Your first ballet class at MusicWorks! Studio of Performing Arts

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.
