From the reviews

My daughter has been dancing at NADS for almost 8 years now and we absolutely love it here! The owner is very personable and takes great pride in her staff and students. The studio is wonderful at being inclusive of all students and really promotes being kind to one another.

★★★★★ — Amy, May 2020

My oldest daughter started at this studio over 20 years ago, and still dances there. My other daughter started dancing there at 2.5 yrs old. I'm now starting my second year there with a 4 yr old. She loves the environment, the teachers, and especially the awesome recital! I'd never go anywhere else!

★★★★★ — Danielle, Aug 2017

New Attitudes is a wonderful dance studio, not only in helping the kids have a great learning and support foundation for dance, but also life. I have known the owner Janna for years, and have witnessed firsthand, her caring and concern for her students.

★★★★★ — Cryss, Mar 2023

My 2 daughters went to NADS from the time they were just little girls until they graduated. My granddaughter now attends - she has been dancing there since she was 3 and is now 10. It is a great studio where my kids always felt comfortable and met friends and thoroughly enjoyed their teachers.

Your first ballet class at New Attitudes Dance Studios

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.
