From the reviews
This will be my daughters third year at Orlandi dance studio, we love it here, her grandma, aunts, cousins and even her Dad have all danced here through the years. They have WONDERFUL experienced teachers who really love what they do!!!
My daughter joined Orlandi in 2019 after never dancing before. Jenna was very helpful with picking classes for her and even offered a trial class to see how she liked them. We ended up going virtual in March due to Covid and all of the instructors continued to teach virtually.
My daughter is going into her 6th year at Orlandi and absolutely loves it. The teachers, and staff all take a genuine interest in the kids lives and treat the kids and parents as family. This past season with the Covid pandemic, they didn’t skip a beat.
It doesn't get much better than Orlandi Dance Center. I've known Miss Katie for years now and was inspired to join Orlandi after seeing her love for the studio. Family owned by Jenna and Connie, you are welcomed immediately! All dancers are encouraged to be themselves, work hard and dance like no one is watching!
Adult ballet at Orlandi Dance Center
Orlandi Dance Center 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 Orlandi Dance Center
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.
