“The recital went VERY well.”
From the reviews
When we started looking ballet schools for our toddler, we did a free trail class here. Our daughter had so much fun. We were impressed by the style of teaching Mrs.Rafela used. It was like a obstacle course but every move they were making was preparing them for the steps and moves they are learning.
This studio is such a great environment for kids. I highly recommend hip-hop or acro with Kaylee or Season, they are incredibly encouraging and truly show up for their students. You can tell they care not just about technique, but about the kids themselves. Such a positive, supportive place to learn and grow.
Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe Dance Academy
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.
