From the reviews
Both of my daughters are in Ms Shiyo’s dance classes. They absolutely love her! She is everything you would hope for in a dance teacher, professional, elegant, and incredibly nurturing. Her teaching style is graceful yet structured, and she knows exactly how to bring out the best in each child.
ms. Rebecca is wonderful because she is helpful and nice and funny and she's a really great teacher.
I have been taking adult ballet classes with Elise for a few months and have absolutely loved her classes! She tailors them so well to all of the dancers, who are coming in with various levels of experience.
Ms Shiyo is the best. She is so talented, fun, self-disciplined, patient, polite. She is a role model. She makes dozens of choreograph pieces all within the same season across age groups from 4 to 17 (unbelievable). She organizes fun events and bonding for the students. She gives warm hugs and also teaches very well.
Your first ballet class at West Valley Dance Company - Mt.View
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.
