From the reviews

My daughter has been dancing at Turning Pointe for many years. She has received very high-quality dance training. The performances are simply amazing! Many audience members think that the dancers are professionals, not "just" high school students!

I've been dancing as a student at Turning Pointe for close to eight years and I've loved every moment of it. Being part of the Ensemble has strengthened my faith, not to mention my technique, and I've made many friends, more so than at my old studio. Definitely check this place out!

Your first ballet class at Turning Pointe School Of Dance

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.
