From the reviews
This dance studio is absolutely amazing! My husband and I came here for our wedding dance but decided on doing this about 6 weeks out from our ceremony/reception. We were doing numerous songs all in a mix with different dance styles and lifts. Our instructor was Dana. She was fantastic!
My husband and I called this dance studio a week before our wedding asking for help with our first dance and they said come on in! Lol. I had contacted them months prior and decided we'd just wing it until the panic set in.
Shall We Dance in Toms River is nothing short of spectacular! They helped us plan and choreograph our first dance for our wedding in just 3 weeks! My wife & I worked with Ingrid and she was great! She was very patient and encouraging, which was much appreciated considering we had little dance experience.
This studio is nothing short of amazing! The owner was patient, professional and gave us instruction and guidance that helped us achieve so much more than we ever expected. The focus of our lesson was customized For our specific needs and skill level and we left feeling such a sense of accomplishment. Take a lesson...
Adult ballet at Shall We Dance
Shall We Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Shall We 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.
