From the reviews
My daughter started here with just ballet and tap. Each year she would add another class because of how much she enjoyed it. The teachers are wonderful and truly care about the students. Not only has she become a very confident person, but also developed very strong friendships.
All of my children have taken classes at On My Toes, and I will recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a dance studio. The instruction is solid, the atmosphere is warm and supportive for every child, and the classes are structured appropriately per each age group.
The best staff! So welcoming and great with my crybaby 2yo. She had severe separation anxiety in the beginning, but before long her teachers gave her the comfort and confidence she needed to step into the room with her head held high! Miss Amanda is a godsend and truly treats these kids like her own.
My daughter has been going here for about a year now and it was the best decision. She loves going to class! She is building confidence, learning, and most importantly having fun. The entire staff is so kind and so quick to help you with anything. Highly recommend!
Adult ballet at On My Toes Dance Academy
On My Toes Dance Academy 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 On My Toes Dance Academy
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.
