“First year for my granddaughter the whole experience was great!”
From the reviews
I went to this place when I was younger and loved it so much happiness and smiles in the studio this place in the best place to dance in Martinsville.
I dance at RHDAS and it’s the most amazing place ever. They are very kind and welcoming with great teaching skills. Most definitely five stars.
I've never been to Ray Hollingsworth studios but back in 1969 in Chicago Illinois I met Ray at a dance convention. It seems like I remember him saying that he was in a play called My Pal Joey! He was so kind to my 14-year-old self and to others as he taught his class.
First year for my granddaughter the whole experience was great! All leading up to the recital she learned so many new things that she's continuing with. It is so excited for the fall where she'll be doing jazz tap and ballet. All the instructors are personable and help your child to do their very best.
Your first ballet class at Ray Hollingsworth Dance and Arts Studio
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.
