Most were younger adults (where I'm almost 50). Everyone was nice and the instructor choreographed a beautiful routine. I just wish I was in better "dance shape" to have kept up. I mistook "open" for beginner and I would not say it was a beginner class. You need to know basic terminology of dance to keep up at all. If they ever offer a beginner class I'd be apt to come back.

There are usually 2-3 classes happening at the same time, so unfortunately you can hear the music from the other classes and it can throw you off. -One of the studio areas is adjacent to the waiting area and there's no door or curtain in between, so anyone waiting might be watching your dance class, which might be less than ideal for self-conscious beginners -Street parking

The studio is beautiful with many windows allowing for plenty of natural light. The dance floor is huge and of a perfect quality.

Our guests were absolutely blown away by our dance with many telling us it was the very best first dance they've ever seen! We only took 4 lessons with Yulia and she managed to make us feel confident, calm and completely prepared. She was our first text the morning after our wedding sending her the video proudly showing her how it went and thanking her profusely! We recommend Yulia to any bride and groom who will listen!

I love that she's also passionate about supporting their learning, development, and building that confidence not just for the stage but in LIFE. The instructors are also wonderful. Miss Ellen and the assistants are just great with the little kids and really ensure a positive experience in the studio.

In the field of dance where everyone strives for the perfect figure and a perfect routine, Ms. Melissa teaches work and a lot of it, she never gives up and will never let you either. She loves to dance and teaches the kids just that. With her kind heart and words she pushes every single girl to do her best while always respecting and encouraging. The girls don't work towards a recital, they learn technique and will run through many different dances until together they decide what will be their final performance piece.

Every year at the end of the recital someone will come up to me and say; "in our old studio the recital was much nicer... the level was higher...". Could be...

She's about improvement, making sure every girl dances better by the end of the year, and most of all she's about confidence every girl believes in her heart she is the best dancer that she could be.

I'm not sure what compelled me to try ballet after years and years of sports and a failed audition…read moreat a middle school play of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." Perhaps, it was my love of all things spandex or the need to finally live up to the Abba song my parents still sing to me, "Nina, the Pretty Ballerina," but I made the leap (pun intended) and signed up for the adult absolute beginner class. This class will not disappoint! The instructor, Claire, is a magic maker. She took a girl (ahem..me) whose lack of coordination has resulted in two broken arms (mind you, at the same time) and numerous other embarrassing moments and turned her into a girl who can now plie in front of a mirror without laughing at herself. I wish I wasn't moving this summer otherwise I would definitely continue the classes. Here's the low-down: Attire ~ Think yoga. You don't have rock the leotard like Beyonce but you can if you want. I wore spandex on bottom and a shirt or tank top on top. Show your calves and your feet. It helps to wear different colors - one on top and a different one on the bottom. This will allow your instructor (and you) to see when parts of your body move that shouldn't (i.e. hips). They sell ballet slippers at the studio. You can buy them there but you will have to sew the straps on at home. Color choices: pink and black. Demographics ~ As mentioned above I had none, I mean zilch experience with ballet or dance. There were people in the class who had some gymnastics/ice skating/ballet/cheer-leading/jazz dance etc... Ages range from high school students to happy retired people. Class sizes are usually around 10 but will vary. Mainly ladies who take the class but men are definitely welcome (there was one guy in the first series of classes I took and he was way better than me). Cost ~ I think I paid around $120 for 8 weeks or something like that. Well worth the money. Add the cost of ballet slippers if you don't have them. I was like this girl when I started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7fAvXH25Ng so if I can do it...anyone can do it!
