From the reviews

Playful pirouettes is a must do. Miss Kirsten was born to teach dance. She is energetic, encouraging, patient, and truly cares about the girls and their progress. The class length, material, and technique is perfect for these little girls.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Mar 2021

All of the classes are very age appropriate and professionally taught. You can tell how much she cares about each and every student. Every class is well prepared with unique stories, games with engaging props so that there is both learning and fun from start to finish. Easy to communicate with.

★★★★★ — Logan, Jan 2021

My 6 year old daughter took classes for a year and absolutely loved it! She learned so much and Kirsten was marvelous at keeping her engaged, excited, and learning every week. I highly recommend her classes to anyone!

Your first ballet class at Playful Pirouettes

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.
