From the reviews
To the Pointe is by far the best studio! Fantastic atmosphere. Not stuffy and uptight like other studios. Ms. Sheri, Ms. Alicia, Ms. Jordan and all the other instructors are amazing, you can tell they love what they do and are very talented.
We have been at this studio for 10 years, and it has been such a positive experience for my girls. They learned to dance from talented and caring teachers, and they have made wonderful friends in the process. The annual recitals are spectacular-I look forward to them all year!
Our experience at To The Pointe Dance Studio has been nothing short of outstanding! My daughter started in the mommy and me class (just under 2 years old) as a shy introverted child and has truly blossomed into a confident dancer at the age of 12.
If you are looking for a professional, nurturing environment, all while learning the art of dance, To The Pointe is for you. I started there when the doors first opened up and couldn't imagine being a part of a different dance family.
Adult ballet at To The Pointe of Performing Arts
To The Pointe of Performing Arts runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at To The Pointe of Performing Arts
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.
