From the reviews

We love this studio! My daughter has been here for 7 years after coming from another studio. The staff and the owner treat these girls like their own and are always very supportive and encouraging. In addition to building strong dancers they are also interested in developing caring and confident young women.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Dec 2025

We have been with OYT for almost 10 years, and this studio has become my daughter’s home away from home. The culture of the studio fosters a sense of family and community. Each student is challenged to achieve their personal best in a loving and encouraging environment. ❤️

★★★★★ — Mitzi, Dec 2025

It is a nice locally owned establishment! Great staff? training kids for their future in dance! Ballet, tap, musical theatre, hop hip, no clue if they do river dance.(but I'm sure they do¿)

★★★★★ — Jason, Sep 2020

As someone who has never taken dance here or anywhere else. I would recommend this place to others. Take it from me, they're doing something right.

Your first ballet class at On Your Toes Dance Studio

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.
