★★★★★ — Sandra, Jan 2019

My daughter danced with Miss Emily from the time she was three years old to a graduating senior. Miss Emily and her staff create both a wonderful community within the studio as well as a relationship with each student whom she cares about and supports with her positive energy.

★★★★★ — Kristin, May 2019

I highly recommend Miss Emily’s School of Dance . I travel all the way from Walpole for my daughter to attend dance class because it’s such a fun but yet professional studio! She loves all the teachers and Miss Emily always makes my daughter feel comfortable.

★★★★★ — Katrina, May 2019

My family has been with West Roxbury School of Dance for 10 years. Three of my daughters have been going here since they were three years old. Miss Emily not only teaches dance, she builds confidence and gives these kids a sense of community. She”s been doing this for 30 plus years because she’s an amazing teacher.

Your first ballet class at West Roxbury 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.
