From the reviews

My son learns Piano at Veksler with Mr.Arthur and my daughter (3) just started learning Ballet with Ms. Poon. I couldn't be happier about my experience with the teachers. Mr. Arthur and Ma.Poon are extremely patient and so encouraging, willing to meet the child where they are and make the learning fun.

LOVE Veksler Academy. The space is beautiful, and the staff is friendly and personable. Both my daughters have been students there since 2017, and they absolutely love their dance classes - hip-hop/K-pop, jazz, and ballet! Our teacher Ms.Anastasiya is fantastic, motivating, and kind.

★★★★★ — Svitlana, May 2023

My five-year-old daughter loves dancing, and our experience here with instructor Allison has been wonderful. She teaches with patience, professionalism, and a strong foundation in ballet. Our daughter—also named Allison—absolutely loves her classes.

★★★★★ — Josh, Jan 2026

Updated review: Generous expertise and amazing performance venues Regarding voice lessons for 9yo Ms. Diana S. is a true professional. It is a privilege to learn from an active performing opera singer who is so generous with her expertise.

Your first ballet class at Veksler Academy of Music & 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.
