What families & students say
“I am a beginner dancer and arrived with no partner.”
From the reviews
I am a beginner dancer and arrived with no partner. I felt welcomed by everyone. Brendan gears the class to those there, answering questions, showing examples and uses a variety of teaching techniques. I plan to return. I encourage you to step out there and give it a try.
Brendan at the Grand Monadnock Ballroom is a fantastic instructor! He made me feel welcomed and comfortable. And I love his approach to teaching. Many people don't feel comfortable dancing- but even the most nervous dancers (myself included) feel encouraged and at ease.
Your first ballet class at The Grand Monadnock Ballroom
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.
