From the reviews

Studio owner and teachers genuinely care about all of the dancers, not just the dancers that seem to be naturals. Feels like a family! My daughter has learned so much. A lot of time and effort are put into making each dancer’s experience wonderful. Christmas and end of year recitals are always put together so nicely.

★★★★★ — Ambre, May 2025

We love Nicole Cote School of Dance! My daughter has been taking there for 4 years going on her 5th year. She has gained so many skills in dance and loves being on stage and performing. Ms. Kendal is my daughter's favorite teacher. She is AmAzInG with the dancers. All of the dance teachers are amazing!

Your first ballet class at Nicole Cote School of 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.
