From the reviews
Throughout the years Steffi has instilled a passion for the arts. As Chairman of the Board of Directors and the mother of two former Steffi dancers, I would like to share the impact that Steffi Nossen has had on my own family.
In my opinion best place in Westchester. From the Administration to the teachers an awesome safe place to send your kids. The administration is so accommodating and always reachable. My daughter started in the parents and tots class and loved it.
Wonderful dance school!!! My kids love dancing here in a collaborative, supportive setting where they are learning a high level of technique and training. They love their teachers and seeing friends every week. Highly recommend!
Simply an outstanding dance school. I danced with Steffi Nossen School for 14 years. It has excellent teachers who provide a welcoming, creative, supportive, and nurturing environment while maintaining age appropriate technique in creative movement, modern, ballet, jazz, and more.
Adult ballet at Steffi Nossen School of Dance & Center for Movement
Steffi Nossen School of Dance & Center for Movement 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 Steffi Nossen School of Dance & Center for Movement
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.
