From the reviews

I quit doing dance competitions 4 years ago and just recently decided to start doing them again. I chose to try Renner Dance. It's been absolutely amazing! The teachers are all wonderful and the other team members are super supportive! It's the nicest studio I've ever been to.

★★★★★ — Dara, Oct 2017

We love the everything about the studio. We especially love how our daughters are inspired by the instruction/peers and the empowering opportunities given to each dancer to maximize his/her abilities and talents as a dancer. Truly a state of the art creative space. Cat & Ive Jones

Your first ballet class at Renner Dance Company

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.
