From the reviews
I’m absolutely in love with Claire’s contemporary dance and Nicola’s ballet class. They’ve become such a special part of my life. Even though I’ve only just started, I go with so much excitement, feeling completely comfortable and genuinely happy.
I just completed the Intro to Dance and Intro to Hip Hop classes with Olivia, and I can’t recommend them enough. As a mom of two who has never danced before, I just wanted to try something new and have fun. I was nervous after reading some negative reviews, but I’m so glad I didn’t let them stop me.
Back in early 2023 I was seeking a place to develop my dance skills as an adult. That can be hard to find since most studios are geared only towards children, but I eventually came across Release, and I am so grateful I did.
The studio has a great vibe, with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that makes it easy to feel at ease, no matter your experience. The design of the studio is also a standout feature. It's modern and sleek, with plenty of natural light and a clean, open space that enhances the overall experience.
Your first ballet class at RELEASE | Drop-in Dance 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.
