From the reviews

Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet is a wonderful studio. I trained there for about 8 years under the personal and professional training of Pam. Her Nutcracker productions are of the upmost quality and are always her students’ favorite memories. I have nothing but the highest praise for this ballet school.

★★★★★ — Calista, Sep 2019

As a student of Ms. Pamela Hayes’s for more than 7 years and currently a member of her company class, I must say that the training that I have gotten from Ms. Pam is classical, pure, and very professional, and it is definitely not a just a “recreational” dance studio.

Your first ballet class at Pamela Hayes Classical Ballet

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.
