What families & students say
“My daughter absolutely loves this place, highly recommended.”

From the reviews
this school is one of a kind. the owner/teacher of my daughter's class says her goal is not to make every student a prima ballerina, but to make every student a lifelong dancer and lover of dance. i love that mission statement! and both of my daughters have loved the school.
I have been taking dance from Debbie Hahn for the past 20 years and loving every minute of every class. She is a wonderful teacher, dancer and choreographer who is able to improve students' ability at all levels. Her students love her because she is so knowledgeable, giving and talented.
We just started our child in a basic Tap and Ballet class for 4 year olds at Variations and it's a smash! The teacher is wonderful and keeps it very fun and exciting, so all the little 4 year olds stay focused.
There’s a dancer in all of us and Variations will help you find the one inside you💗! I’ve been honored to be a dance student at Variations since the day they opened. There is not a more passionate and caring group of professionals. Give it a shot. You will not be disappointed 💃
Adult ballet at Variations, a dancer's studio
Variations, a dancer's studio 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 Variations, a dancer's studio
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.
