From the reviews
I was shocked to read the one negative review for Studio J as I have had the complete opposite experience! Jess is always professional and I have never seen overly stressed out environments. Dancers are always warmed up properly and prepared for the class they are taking.
I started going to studio J 3 years years ago and I absolutely love it!!! All the teachers are amazing and put so much work into what they do. I have been to many studios and this is the best one!!
Switching to Studio J has, hands down, been the best decision we ever made for our daughter. We love everything about it! Ms. Jess and her staff are extremely professional and encourage every student to strive for excellence. She truly believes in each and every one of them.
My daughter has been going here for 2 years and I have seen her grow into an amazing young dancer. I never have a problem when taking her to dance class because she loves it so much. Ms. Jess is the best person to go to when it comes to learning to dance and having fun at the same time.
Your first ballet class at Studio J Dance Academy
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.
