From the reviews
Very thankful for the time, energy and passion that Elizabeth pours into her students. She encourages and inspires them with her love for ballet and dedication to the dancers. She is truly a gift to our little town and the state of Maine.
Now that Elizabeth is back the school is amazing. It's an extremely nurturing environment for dancers of all ages and skill level to grow and improve in a family like atmosphere. Everyone here is supportive of each other and I look forward to coming to The Ballet School everyday.
Elizabeth is Amazing. She is caring and understanding and clearly passionate about what she does. My daughter is in her first year of ballet and you can tell from the very first class that Elizabeth is teaching them long term skills to help them grow in dance. They do not simply dance around the room.
Your first ballet class at The Ballet 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.
