From the reviews
The Music Box and Ms. Amanda have been a part of our lives for several years now. She is a wonderful teacher and studio owner. Highly recommend this studio!
My daughter finished her first season with the music box. She did a hip hop trial but just wasn’t ready for it. We ended up enrolling her in tap and tumble and pre ballet.
The Music Box is a fantastic studio that prides itself on welcoming kids and adults just as they are. We tried another studio that was closer to our home/school out of convenience and while it had some lovely teachers, it did not compare to the community feel that we get here.
We are finishing our first year with The Music Box and we cannot wait for the next season. The office moms are welcoming, Ms. Amanda is incredibly organized, and the teachers are all so kind and provide the best environment for the kiddos!
Your first ballet class at The Music Box
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.
