From the reviews

We love Shoreline Academy of Music & Dance! The teachers are great, and everyone is always so welcoming. Our eight year old is in her third year of lessons there, and the inclusiveness of the community has been fabulous.

★★★★★ — Lindsey, Nov 2020

When Gino teaches Hip Hop @ the Shoreline Academy he brings a calm and cool yet firm approach that helps my daughter Tessa really learn the choreography and how to work as a team. In the words of my daughter, "Gino helps me bring the sassiness!".

★★★★★ — Thesusiwan15, May 2024

Our daughter has been a student of Madison’s pre ballet (3-4yo) class this school year. Even when she has felt shy or nervous, Madison has done a great job at making her feel welcome and comfortable. Her ballet skills have developed so much and she loves going every week!

Your first ballet class at Shoreline Academy of Music & 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.
