From the reviews

Suzie is absolutely incredible! My partner and I were looking for someone to choreograph and teach us our wedding dance to a specific song. We are not doing any other dancing the day of our wedding except for our first dance, so we really were looking for something that could be specific to the song, and a routine…

Suzie is a gem. I am a 57-year old guy from Kentfield and finally took it upon myself to learn how to dance. Wanted to do it to be closer to my girlfriend who loves dancing. Suzie was so welcoming and supportive. I now call her my "dance therapist.

★★★★★ — Dan, Oct 2024

A great place for dance lessons and dance classes snuggled right in downtown San Rafael. Finding Suzie is like finding a diamond! She is an amazing dancer and also offers a great place to teach or host your own class or event. And her dog Happy is pretty cool too...

★★★★★ — Deborah, Mar 2017

A great local dance and community space that offers a variety of classes, owned by a very sweet woman (Suzie) who also teaches ballroom. It's an affordable place to rent if you are a teacher of movement arts, meditation, or lead workshops.

Your first ballet class at Suzie's Studio

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.
