“She is now a professional dancer.”

From the reviews

Seiskaya is a place where a child learns correct ballet technique, but more importantly, they learn life lessons. They learn balance in all things. My daughter danced there From 1999 until she went off to college in the Fall of 2010. She is now a professional dancer.

★★★★★ — Karen, Apr 2018

Classic ballet training for everyone from serious ballet students to adults looking for a different way to exercise.

★★★★★ — Susan, May 2018

I've been taking adult ballet classes here for a month now. I don't know my teacher's name, but she is beautiful, sweet, kind, great teacher. Thanks to her class, I've come to love ballet even more. I look forward to continuing my ballet journey here.

Your first ballet class at Seiskaya 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.

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.
