From the reviews

Petite Pas hosted my daughter's 6th birthday party at their studio and if I could give more than 5 stars I would! I cannot say enough about how wonderful Ms. Val and Miss Hannah were with my daughter and her friends - they truly made my daughter's first birthday party so magical and special.

This is my daughter’s second year at this amazing ballet school! The teachers are wonderful and the end of the year showcase is my favorite! I highly recommend this school — especially the mommy and tot program!

★★★★★ — Balbina, Dec 2023

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love Petite Pas Ballet! My daughter Elia has been attending since she was just 1.5 years old with Miss Hanna, and now at age 4, she still looks forward to every class with the same joy and excitement.

★★★★★ — Balbina, Jul 2025

We just finished our third year at Petite Pas and I only have good things to say. Val’s attention to detail astounds this type A mom every single time. She is so thoughtful, attentive and creative in everything she does.

Your first ballet class at Petite Pas Ballet School

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.
