From the reviews

Despite being new recruits to Studio 56, my daughter has been a dancer, both competitively and not, for the last 6 years. She loves dance and performing so we thought we were happy at our old dance school, that is until we found Studio 56… she comes home after class excited for the next time she gets to go, she’s…

★★★★★ — Nikki, Aug 2024

We chose studio 56 due to location that best fit our daily routes, routines and schedules. We tried a drop in mommy and me class (she was 3 year old at the time) last year and loved it. They had a great transition plan a few months in that allowed my daughter to transition to dance without me and she thrived.

★★★★★ — Mandy, Sep 2023

After moving around and experiencing several dance studios, I can confidently say Studio 56 is the best! My girls immediately felt welcomed and understood, and now it truly feels like their home away from home.

★★★★★ — Alexa, Dec 2025

As my daughter finishes her second year on a company team and her fifth year with Studio 56, we are so grateful to be part of such an amazing studio. Studio 56 offers incredible training, dedicated teachers, and a positive environment that helps kids grow both as dancers and as people. We especially love Mr.

Your first ballet class at Studio 56 Dance Center

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.
