From the reviews
I was thrilled to join Garden Arts as a guest teacher for their Summit Summer '25. Although we had a bad storm at the beginning of class, this gave us the opportunity to talk about Ballet's history, methods, and key players, in addition to speaking about discovering our own niche and personal style.
We were devastated when our daughter’s dance studio suddenly went out of business. Turns out, it was a HUGE blessing in disguise. The Garden Arts Center took over the location and is phenomenal.
Miss Kim is a brilliant, creative person and the area is lucky to have her and this kind of learning environment for the arts. The studio is beautiful and welcoming. Your student will be challenged and grow exponentially. Her shows are inclusive and you will be massively impressed and engaged!
Your first ballet class at The Garden Arts Center
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.
