From the reviews
After moving from our old studio we were looking for a new studio for our 11yr old who lives and breathes dance. STUDIO EAST IS THAT PLACE!❤️ The dance instructors.are encouraging, fun, strict and loving all at once. I can not tell you how much she has grown since Sept '19 to now.
We absolutely love Studio East! My kids first did a hip/hop tumble class there last year which they really enjoyed, then we started doing the monthly parent night out events (which are fabulous!!
I could not be more pleased with this dance studio! Ramona is amazing teacher, extremely professional, and goes above and beyond for all of her students. She’s intentional with every student and goes out of her way, outside of the studio, to be sure your child is happy while at dance!
Ramona runs a wonderful dance studio. My 4 year old started off nervous and shy, and ended the year full of confidence, friendships, dance skills, and giggles each week. She loved dance night so much.
Adult ballet at Studio East Dance Company
Studio East Dance Company 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 Studio East Dance Company
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.
