From the reviews
The dance program at Reaching Heart Dance Center has been a perfect fit for my daughter Lauren. She started dancing to compliment her gymnastic skills and fell in love with Miss Melissa and The Reaching Heart Dance students. What special place for our daughter to grow and learn.
Best ballet and dance school ever!! You are hosting the 17th annual Harwich High School production of the Nutcracker from now until Sunday afternoon!!
Reaching Heart has been my daughter's 2nd home for the past 11 years. It is just a wonderful place to dance. I am so glad we found Reaching Heart when my daughter was young, she has developed friendships that I know will last a lifetime. The dance instruction is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive.
We needed a school more dance focused coming from the conservatory. Reaching Heart has provided an incredibly strong ballet foundation for my daughter. She started dancing with Melissa at 6. The shows are amazing to watch your child live their dreams out on stage, and the Nutcracker can’t be topped.
Your first ballet class at Reaching Heart School of Ballet
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.
