★★★★★ — A, Aug 2024

My daughters have been at The Dance Movement for their first three weeks, and I couldn't be more amazed by the results. By the second week, I already noticed a huge improvement in them, something we hadn't seen in months at their previous academy.

★★★★★ — Alicia, Oct 2024

My daughters have been with The Dance Movement for at least seven years. We began taking summer classes and for the past five years they've enjoyed ballet, hip hop, and pomegranate squad classes. I cannot say enough positive things about Ms. Lori the owner (and pom squad choreographer and instructor.

Your first ballet class at The Dance Movement

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.
