From the reviews
I am more than impressed with the classes offered to my 3 1/2 year old daughter. It’s her first time and I thought it was going to be a bunch of running around and jumping but they are truly learning real ballet concepts in a very fun and creative way.
Miss Patty at the Sonoma Conservatory of Dance has been a pillar of my child’s life for nearly 10 years. She is kind, professional, encouraging, sensitive… the list goes on and on. Dancers at SCD get so much more than a ballet education; they are taught self-confidence, poise, resilience, and teamwork.
SCD has been a wonderful place for my daughter. SCD was there for her when she went through a tough time and was feeling left out from her friends. She developed a passion for ballet and it’s helped with her time management and schoolwork. Ms. Patty’s professionalism, dedication and passion for ballet shines through.
Ms. Patty is the best! She is great with children and a very knowledgeable teacher. A perfect combination of fun, kindness and structured learning. My daughters love attending Ms. Patty’s classes.
Your first ballet class at Sonoma Conservatory of 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.
