From the reviews
As a parent, finding the right dance studio for my child was incredibly important to me, and The Ballet Barre has exceeded all of our expectations! From the first class, it was clear that this studio is a special place where students not only learn to dance but also grow in confidence and self-esteem.
Ballet Barre is a highly recommended dance school that has been here for decades now! My daughter started last year and inspite of a very difficult year with in person classes post covid, Ms. Heather and the amazing teachers managed seamlessly and put up a great year end recital!
I’ve been dancing at the ballet barre for the majority of my life, and it has been an absolute blast. It truly feels like my second home. All of the teachers there put so much work into helping us become better dancers, and choreographing amazing dances. The overall vibe at the studio is unmatched.
My daughter didn’t start dance class until March. Most girls do dance September-June so we started most of the way through the season, but heather and the teachers made sure my daughter caught up with the other girls.
Your first ballet class at The Ballet Barre - Performing Arts School
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.
