From the reviews
Ohana Dance lives up to its name! Ohana means “family” and that’s exactly how the Studio environment feels. The instructors are all not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also kind! Every dancer is adopted into the Ohana Dance family and is encouraged to grow and learn.
Ohana Dance Studio is more than just a dance studio. It has become part of our family. Love the new facility. The staff are so friendly. If your kid has a passion for dance, Ohana is the right studio because they will really guide your kid to achieve their goals.
We Love Ohana Dance! The new studio is beautiful with custom floors, and a warm and welcoming staff and environment for children. We have been at Ohana Dance for over a year, and my daughter has made so many friends and loves taking a variety of classes at Ohana along with their new tumbling classes.
My son has been dancing with Ohana for over 6 years. He absolutely loves it! Ohana offers variety of classes such as break dancing, hip hop, modern, contemporary, acro, ballet and much more! If you have a son/daughter who loves to dance, I highly recommend Ohana Dance Studio.
Adult ballet at Ohana Dance
Ohana Dance runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Ohana 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.
