From the reviews

We had my child's birthday party here this last weekend. I don't have enough good words to say about this place. The teacher was excellent and kind and the company was so accommodating for any requests we had. Absolutely cannot recommend enough!!!!!

★★★★★ — Destiny, Apr 2026

Very patient and forgiving of toddlers who can't pay attention. Very sweet and kind instructor. The recital tickets could have been cheaper, but otherwise, we'll be back next season

Your first ballet class at Orion Oxford Dance 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.
