From the reviews
I can’t say enough positive things about this studio! Miss Jenna, her staff, the dancers, and the parents are amazing. My daughter had danced at two other studios over many years. But she did not feel valued or that she was learning anything. The summer of her freshman year, we tried TNJ dance camp.
TNJ is the definition of hard work, dedication and family. It is an amazing place to learn where you feel welcomed the moment you walk into the studio. It is a place where your children will grow both as dancers and human beings.
We have experienced both the recreational and competitive branches of the TNJ program and both are fantastic. This studio unquestionably builds a strong foundation in dance. Everyone there (director, teachers, staff) cares more about these kids on a much bigger scale, though.
Only danced at TNJ for 3 years and made amazing relationships and life long friends. Jenna is amazing at what she does and knows exactly how far to push you to make you the best possible person and dancer you could possibly be. I graduated last year and already miss Jenna and my team so much.
Adult ballet at Next Jennaration Dance Studio
Next Jennaration Dance Studio runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Next Jennaration Dance Studio
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.
