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.
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.
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…
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.
