From the reviews
Our older two daughters have been dancing at Studio Roxander for the last two years, and our youngest started in January. After spending a couple of years at a different studio, and seeing the progress and difference in their confidence and skill level since we've been here, I can confidently say that there is no…
Incredible academy for the aspiring dancer or families who wish to experience artistry and classical education of the arts in a creative and meaningful way. I appreciate how the teachers and the school provide structure in a kind and loving way that holds both children and families in a good rhythm.
My daughters (3 and 4 years old) absolutely love taking ballet here. The classes have really inspired them and sparked a great joy of dancing in them. The team is really great with kids and the prices are very affordable. The classes max out at 8 students for our age group, which is kind of a lot, but could be worse.
My eldest daughter has danced at Studio Roxander for one year now, and my youngest began this past winter. Their experiences have been nothing short of phenomenal.
Adult ballet at Studio Roxander - Academy of Ballet
Studio Roxander - Academy of Ballet 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 Roxander - Academy of Ballet
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.
