From the reviews
I can’t express enough how incredible North Jersey School of Dance Arts is. My two daughters attend this school, and it has been a wonderful experience for them. Not only are they learning to hone in on their dance skills, but they’ve also discovered the sheer joy of dancing.
All of my kids, 4 of them, have been a part of NJSDA. There is no where else that compares to the training they have received. My oldest is now a trainee with American Repertory Ballet in Princeton, thanks to the dedicated and devoted faculty. My youngest continues to get incredible training at NJSDA.
NJSDA is everything I could ask for in a dance school for my daughters. Miss Ashley and Miss Alex (the owners) are simply the best, maintaining a phenomenal balance between having the high standards of an excellent dance school while still being caring/kind.
My daughter has been dancing at NJSDA for 9 years and has loved every minute of it. She has tried all styles of dance and found her passion for tap and musical theater.
Your first ballet class at North Jersey School of Dance Arts
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.
