From the reviews

My daughter, Grace, really enjoyed this studio. The teachers were great and so were the kids. Its a great learning experience and a place that all children should want to be. my daughter grew up here at this studio and called it 'home'.

★★★★★ — David, Oct 2015

My child has a lot of fun at Salinas School of Dance! Terrin is professional, kind, most importantly she's great with the kids and enjoys what she does. The ballerinas have a recital every year where they dance to a variety of music for example, ballet, tap, jaz, & Irish.

Your first ballet class at Salinas School of Dance

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.
