From the reviews

My daughter is has been dancing at this studio for 2 years. Her dance instructors, and Mrs. Kathryn & Mrs. Muffy, by far are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are very encouraging, patient, and they consistently have my daughters best interest at heart.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Sep 2020

Like most, I was introduced to QMD through my kids as they needed instruments for school and interest in learning music. I was pleasantly surprised that they also catered to busy adults, who like me are trying to enrich their lives by learning a new skill and play music.

★★★★★ — A, Jun 2025

Professional - Positive - Passionate! QMD facilitates an environment that supports a full-body workout from dancing to playing instruments. 🩰 🎸 🎹 🎼 Today we participated in our 1st music recital. It was magical to witness the girls’ confidence on stage from taking lessons and playing an instrument.

★★★★★ — Terra, Feb 2026

Muffy and Wayne are seriously the best! We moved from California two years ago, we truly didn’t know a soul when we first moved here. Wayne and Muffy have become like a second family to us!

Your first ballet class at Quality Music and Dance Lessons

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.
