From the reviews

My 5 year old Granddaughter celebrated her birthday at The Studio School of Dance Event Space and from the time the “birthday girl” walked in the party was on! Miss Diana had the music going and the fun began when the children came in the door as they were immediately engaged in activities.

The Studio School of Dance is an incredible place for both dancers and their families! The dancers here are not only passionate but also incredibly well-rounded, continuously improving through top-notch instruction.

★★★★★ — Reagan, Feb 2025

We have been incredibly happy with the Studio School of Dance. I never took dance when I was younger but my daughters have immediately taken to their “dance family”. The instructors are too notch and take pride in hard work and the lessons for their students.

Your first ballet class at The Studio School of Dance

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.
