From the reviews
My daughter started attending Octorara Ballet when when she was 3 years old in their Dress Up & Dance class, she loved it so much she just had to continue dancing, according to her 😊. Now she is almost 8 years old and her favorite activity is still ballet.
A wonderful studio, with an accepting and caring staff for all sizes of dancer. Each child is treated like an individual and taught according to their ability. Best place for ballet training.
We love Octorara Ballet! We have tried other dance studios but we have found this one to be the most fun and practical for our daughter. Having a performance at the end of each season is something we love looking forward to.
I have had 2 daughters attend Octorara Ballet School. The LOVED it and speak fondly of their time at the school (they are now 19 and almost 17). I teach preschool and when I hear mom's talking about ballet school I am quick to tell them about Octorar Ballet School and I talk about the wonderful experience their child…
Your first ballet class at Octorara Ballet School
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.
