From the reviews

This is the only dance school I have encountered where the owner is not only visible but involved and familiar with every student in the school. Each child is not just accepted but treasured for their uniqueness and therefore the students too are friendly and accepting of other dancers.

My son has been attending dance class at Open Arts for about a year. If you are looking for a dance school where the teachers are caring, passionate, and experienced in teaching young kids, where the school administrators are flexible, quick in response, and willing to work with you in any circumstance, Open Arts is…

We've only been here two years but a lot of the dancers have been here through almost all of childhood! It's such a great place bc of the connection, the devotion, and the creativity. This is not an inside- the- box dance studio. Everyone loves being here and shows up because they want to.

Your first ballet class at Open Arts

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.
