From the reviews

Our family has danced with Ms. Rhonda and Ms. Melissa since 2009. We were attracted to their focus on character and citizenship over technique -- although don't think that means technique lags!

★★★★★ — Christopher, Sep 2020

Ms. Rhonda and her team run a wonderful dance school. My girls have been attending classes at Time To Leap for many years and they still love going each week. They look forward to their classes and have so much pride in themselves when it comes time for recitals.

★★★★★ — Lillian, May 2025

My daughter has danced at Time to Leap since it opened. We love the individual attention and the family atmosphere of the studio and the ability to take a variety of dance genres. I also enjoy the adult tap, ballet and barre classes that bring me back to my dancing days :-)

★★★★★ — Dottie, Mar 2020

Our daughters attend dance classes here and have for years. All the staff are very sweet and out going. All the events have been fantastic and Ms Rhonda makes you feel so welcome and a part of the Time to Leap family.

Your first ballet class at Time To Leap

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.
