From the reviews
Outstanding dance school - makes even the tiniest dancers feel comfortable and inspired to express themselves. Warm, professional staff. Highlight of our daughters' weeks.
A great place for a Contra Dance. Second Saturdays! Arrive early for a good parking spot. Enjoy an ice cream from next door before the event starts.
Your first ballet class at The Griffith Academy
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.
