From the reviews

My daughter has been attending Yoko's dance studio for the past 5 years and we are so proud to be apart of this studio. The studio is run by excellent teachers - Ms. Megan and Ms. Erin. They are kind to the dancers but have high expectations.

★★★★★ — Yasmeen, Nov 2015

Such a great place to send your child for Ballerina 🩰. My daughter has been going for 3 years now. They are very friendly, not money hungry and always very supportive of your situation. 5+ stars from my family.

★★★★★ — Poonam, Jun 2024

We absolutely love Yoko’s Dance & Performing Arts. They have expanded my son’s natural talent and continue to pour into him with tools, encouragement, and life lessons that go far beyond the studio. We moved away for a year and when we returned, it was like watching my child come back to life.

Your first ballet class at Yoko's Dance & Performing Arts 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.

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.
