From the reviews

My Daughter started attending here near the end of October/Early November. She loves Dancing. However, I danced at a few different places from age 2yrs old to 14yrs old. We usually had the same Instructor unless she was sick & needed one of the Older Girl's that Danced to Fill-In For her Or something.

★★★★☆ — Heather, Apr 2017

The instructor here is so patient. She worked with my daughter to learn the routines at 3 years old. I was so afraid she wasnt going to listen. My daughter really enjoyed going to dance class. This an amazing place if you have the little ones.

★★★★★ — Krishaun, May 2022

Excellent dance instruction in ballet, pointe, tap, hip hop, jazz, lyrical dance and more! New dance styles are always added as they become popular. Each dancer feels like a super star! Diversity is valued! Creativity happens all the time there! LOVE IT!

★★★★★ — Mickie, Oct 2025

My daughter learned the love of dance from the teachers at this studio. She learned that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Good practice habits and teamwork take you to new heights!

Your first ballet class at Toninas Dance Company

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.
