From the reviews

My daughters been coming to New England Dance since she was 2 years old and now she's almost 6! The owner and teachers are very kind and teach our children at their own levels! It's a great place to grow in the dancing industry. I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone and everyone.

★★★★★ — Tricia, Aug 2018

Adrianna is a gem...and so, in turn, this school is a gem! Compassion, connection and consciousness are words that immediately come to mind when I think of Adrianna and New England Dance.

Your first ballet class at New England 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.

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.
