From the reviews

Truly a gem of a school. My daughter danced here and recieved a world class education in dance. It is primarily a ballet school but they do offer other styles. The founder was a soloist with the NYC Ballet under Balanchine. It doesn't get better then that. Instructors are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Angel, Oct 2018

I trained with the Ohman School of Ballet starting as a baby ballerina. It shaped my life more than I can share. Frank Ohman not only taught me my love for the art of ballet, but the Ohman School of Ballet taught me incredible discipline and life long lessons I still use today as a working professional.

★★★★★ — Aimee, Sep 2023

Ohman school has been a lifelong extraordinary experience for our entire family! This is not just a school to learn exceptional classical ballet. It becomes a family for parents to share in the joy of watching their children develop into dancers that have beauty and grace and capable of performing Balanchine…

★★★★★ — Pamela, Mar 2025

My Daughter joined Ohman school of ballet when she was 5 years old. She is now 11years old. She is always eager to go to ballet classes and excited to participate at the annual Nutcracker show. As a USAG level 9 gymnast, ballet always help enhanced her floor and beam performances.

Your first ballet class at Ohman School of Ballet

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.
