From the reviews

My daughter(s) have been going to this school for the past 2 years. They are ages 4 and 3. Ms. Joanna has been their teacher (and is the owner) for both years and words can't say enough about her! She works so well with the little ones and you can tell she loves what she does.

★★★★★ — Christine, Jun 2016

Best dance studio with the absolute best teachers! My daughter has been going here for 8 years and OCSD has not only helped her become a beautiful dancer, but a kind, supportive, confident individual. Students receive top notch instruction in a supportive environment. We feel so lucky to have found OCSD when we did!

Your first ballet class at Orange County School of Dance

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.
