From the reviews

We cannot say how much we love and appreciate Schotime. My 3 year old daughter, Charlotte R., is such a social butterfly that she needed an activity and we’re so grateful we found Schotime. She has truly flourished here and the staff and student staff members have been THE best role models for her.

★★★★★ — Macy, Jan 2025

We've been with Schotime Dance Center since their very first year, and I can honestly say it's been an incredible experience for our family. This will be our third recital, and each year, our 6-year-old has grown in both skill and confidence.

★★★★★ — Claudia, Jan 2025

We haven’t attended classes for very long. My daughter has only attended two classes and loves her class. She’s been getting to know the other dancers and her dance instructor Ms. Kara. I can’t wait to see the dance styles my daughter learns and to see what dance style she wants to explore further.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Jan 2025

I truly can’t say enough about how amazing Schotime has been! My 4 year old daughter joined last year and has just loved it! She was a part of the recital and also danced at the Start Lighting this past year!

Your first ballet class at Schotime Dance Center

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.
