From the reviews

We attended Tiny Dancer studio last year and I honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience! From day one, the staff has been so warm and welcoming, and the studio has a real cozy, friendly vibe that makes it a great place for kids to learn and grow. My daughter who is 5 absolutely loved every class here.

★★★★★ — Inga, Nov 2024

My oldest daughter went here when she was little and now my two year old has started in their Wiggletoes class. The teachers we have had have been so well-attuned to young children, which is really the most important thing.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Oct 2022

Absolutely wonderful experience across multiple years and multiple teachers. Don't hesitate to sign up. I looked for a long time before deciding to bring our shy 2.5 year old girl here - best choice we could have made. She blossomed at Tiny Dancers with a true love of dance and growing confidence in every way!

★★★★★ — Jessie, Dec 2024

We’ve been a part of tiny dancers from Wiggle Toes to now our second year of ballet classes. The teachers are friendly, know how to connect with the kids, and clearly love what they do. Ballet class has been the highlight of my daughter’s week every week for 2 years now.

Your first ballet class at Tiny Dancers

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.
