From the reviews

My oldest son took a musical theatre class at TTP his Senior year in Highschool, and had a great time in Ms. katie's class! This paved the way for my My youngest son, who wanted to take a tap class but didn't think it was cool for boys to take dance...

If you are looking for a dance studio with age appropriate styles and costumes, a family atmosphere and a focus on technique That’s the Pointe is for you! My daughter has been dancing at TTP for 12 years and it was the best decision I ever made. We are part of a dance family that is supportive and welcoming.

★★★★★ — Heather, Jan 2026

Best dance studio there is! Exceptional teachers and staff who not only help perfect the art of dance but instill values and kindness that extends outside of the studio. The dancers support and rally around each other in all that they do.

★★★★★ — Tori, Apr 2026

Just simply the best dance studio around! Super friendly and energetic instructors, workers, helpers, all of whom are very PPE conscious and completely comply with social distancing guidelines. And the lady who owns/runs it is so nice and helpful, I can't think of enough nice things to say about this place!

Your first ballet class at Thats The Pointe Dance 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.
