From the reviews
My daughter went here this past week for a summer intensive to get a deeper training in ballet, as ballet is not her favorite style of dance. She left this week happy, she absolutely loved learning from Allynne; saying she made it fun and is such a nice teacher. She’s excited to learn more this summer!
We have been very pleased with our daughters experience at WestMet Classical Training. Allynne and Tommy are wonderful with the kids; they create a positive environment. They provide top notch pre-professional ballet training and they put together beautiful performances. Highly recommend.
Your first ballet class at West Met Classical Training
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.
