From the reviews

I took classes and privates with Elena to help prepare for my theatrical career in college, and she was great to work with. I continue to take classes at the studio when I am back in town to keep up my technique.

★★★★★ — Madi, Jul 2021

I love watching the kids having fun with Elena! The combo classes (tap, jazz, ballet) are a great idea. I've been having tons of fun with intermediate ballet so far!

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Aug 2017

My daughter dances at the studio and loves it! Miss Elena is great with the kids and really gives the care and attention they need.

Your first ballet class at Studio DYB “Dance Your Best”

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.
