From the reviews

My daughter has been dancing at Cal Elite for 8 years. She has been competing with them for 5 years, including this year under the new name of Reve Dance Conservatory. We love everything about the studio. The other families and staff have become part of our family. My daughter has become an incredible dancer.

★★★★★ — Beth, Jun 2019

Reve dance conservatory is the BEST dance studio. It has helped me and many other dancers grow so much in all areas of dance! I love it!

★★★★★ — Remy, Aug 2020

This is a really good dance studio. Everyone there is great. It's so much better than Cal elite which is more like a day care. This place is serious about teaching dance.

Your first ballet class at RÉVE Dance Conservatory

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.
