From the reviews

My children have been taking ballet from Christopher Fellows at CDA for the past year and a half after dancing at numerous other area schools and this far exceeds the level of education they received prior.

★★★★★ — Heather, Sep 2024

My daughter has been going to this studio for over a year and I could not be happier with the program. She started with Miss Patti and has received nothing but support and an excellent education. The class sizes are quite small, allowing for one-on-one focus and attention.

★★★★★ — Olga, Aug 2025

The kindest, most patient teachers with expert level skills (and real, classical ballet experience). I danced for 15 years as a hobby and these instructors showed me the correct way to move and find balance that I had never been taught before.

Your first ballet class at Three Rivers Ballet

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.
