From the reviews
The studio has completely changed and it feels like a big family. All the dancers know each other, the teachers and staff all work closely with the kids and guide then to be the dancer they want to be. I have been at this studio awhile, I have seen its up and downs.
I have an 11 year old daughter who has danced with Northland for 9 years. I've always been happy, but this year has been the best yet! The staff has always been top-notch, but the new instructors this season as incredible. They are personally invested in these kids.
This dance studio is a home away from home! As a teacher here this place does not feel like work it’s a place to escape to and spread love and joy through dance! Very flexible understanding that students have family events or a big test at school sometimes.
There is not enough words in the universe to describe how wonderful Northland School of Dance is. My daughter has been dancing there for 5 years so far. Teachers, staff and owners are amazing to work with. My daughter has learned so much at this studio in and out of the dance classes.
Adult ballet at Northland School of Dance
Northland School of Dance 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 Northland 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.
