Neighborhood Dance is absolutely wonderful with toddler ballerinas! The teachers are so patient, kind, energetic and truly know how to make the little ones feel comfortable while still learning real dance skills. My daughter looks forward to class every week - it's fun, structured and confidence building.

★★★★★ — Patrick, Aug 2020

We LOVE this place!! Last year was my daughter's first experience with dance and Ms. Michelle made it such a pleasant experience. I love that she really makes it a point to know your name from day 1! Even during COVID restrictions, Ms. Michelle made it a point to send packets home to keep my daughter interested.

Your first ballet class at Neighborhood Dance - Cornelius

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.
