From the reviews
This is probably the best thing that could have happened to my baby. She started Ballet at 3 and she is now 5. She enjoys coming here. She adores Mrs.Tamalyn and all her teachers as well as the many children she dance with. The building is very nice, its clean it comfortable.
My daughters have been attending classes here for a couple years now...one takes ballet and the other does martial arts, and they both absolutely love it! The teachers are amazing, so kind and encouraging, and you can tell they really care about the kids.
I love everything here! It's an awesome place to dance.I've been with Miss Tamalyn for 11 yrs and she is the best in Orangeburg!
Adult ballet at Tamalyn's Dance Centre
Tamalyn's Dance Centre 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 Tamalyn's Dance Centre
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.
