From the reviews
I’ve danced at Yanlai’s for 11 years and I’ve enjoyed every moment. The studio’s environment is so welcoming and Yanlai herself is an amazing teacher.
A wonderful dance studio. My daughter has attended for many years and loves Yanlai, who is as gifted a teacher as she is a dancer.
It was very nice, space not closed in ,I really enjoyed the place,I would recommend it to anyone fun place.
Your first ballet class at Yanlai Dance Academy
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.
