From the reviews

We love Sharon's This is my son's 2nd year after looking for another studio after his first year of dance in a studio in Chester, that did not meet our needs at all. Everyone at Sharon's is friendly. Every time I call I get an actual person the phone or an almost immediate call back if they were on the other line.

★★★★★ — Valerie, Oct 2015

This is the third year that all three of my children have attended Sharon's dance classes and we couldn't be happier. From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed and truly feel like we are part of the Sharon's family. Miss Sharon knows every student (and parent) and greets them by name.

★★★★★ — Dawn, Jan 2015

My daughter has been dancing at Sharon's Studio of Dance for 8 years, since she was 3 years old, and there is nowhere else she would want to go! She has had years of expert instruction in all aspects of dancing including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary and Irish step.

★★★★★ — Anne, Jan 2015

My daughter has been attending Sharon’s Studio of Dance and Music since she was 3½ years old, now in her 4th year, and she has loved every moment. The entire staff at Sharon’s is truly exceptional! Their classes, events, and recitals are always so well organized and completely stress‑free.

Your first ballet class at Sharon's Studio of Dance & Music

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.
