I enrolled my daughter in the toddler ballet class for ages 2-3. She had just turned 2, so she was…read moreon the younger end of the age range. After dropping her off, we had only been gone for about three minutes when we received a call saying she wasn't separating well and asking us to come back. When we returned, the staff member at the front desk simply handed us our check and said, "Maybe next year." I was really disappointed by how quickly the decision was made. I believe a better approach would have been to give us the opportunity to stay and let her adjust to the environment, or even allow her to participate with me nearby to see if she became comfortable. Many toddlers need a little time to warm up to a new setting. Instead, it felt like they were more interested in refunding our money than helping her succeed. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning. It's especially disappointing because I have two daughters and was hoping to support a local business, but we'll be looking for a program in another town instead. The place was super cute though!

I recently signed my daughter up for the 2-3yr old ballet class. The studio is immaculate and a…read morebeautiful environment. The ballet instructors teaching the class were warm, inviting and very enthusiastic and I felt very comfortable, not an easy task to have 12 toddlers and expect them to follow directions on the first day. Looking forward to our next class!

This is an amazing place. I started from intro classes when I was 40 and two years later I can…read moresometimes take intermediate classes. Every teacher I had was wonderful. I saw Shirley Bassat name mentioned in some negative reviews - I love her! It took a while to get used to her style, but she actually corrects your position, and is warm and caring behind a strict surface. If you have some tolerance of being called out in front of a class, you can make so much progress with her. I also want to mention Vanessa's Pilates classes during the weekend. I've been to many Pilates before, but her class is ADDICTIVE. She tailors the class to everyone there, and remembers everyone's strength, weakness, and goals. She uses different props for each student to make sure even the same move will be most effective for each person on their fitness/ dance journey. She also has a great sense of humor to make challenging classes pass by quickly. The classes are packed and somehow everyone gets individual attention and enough space/ room to practice comfortably.

This was a spur-of-the-moment activity, but a friend of mine wanted to try a ballet class to see if…read moreshe might get back into dance as a hobby. Another friend had taken classes at this academy before and highly recommended it, so the three of us booked an Introduction to Ballet class on Sunday at 12:00. Check-in was quick and easy. The class was $25 for an hour and a half, which I think is very reasonable considering it's from an actual ballet school. There's no strict dress code, which worked out well since none of us owned ballet attire -- we just wore regular workout clothes and socks, and it was perfectly fine. The instructor was wonderful. She started by asking who had never taken ballet before, then positioned the newer students between people with experience so it would be easier to follow along. I really appreciated that, as I have no dance background and definitely found myself lost more than once. Having people around me to follow made it much less intimidating. The class itself was energetic and fun. The instructor was patient, encouraging, and made sure to keep things approachable for beginners. I'm sure my form was atrocious and I messed up plenty of times, but nobody cared -- the atmosphere was supportive and welcoming, and everyone was just there to enjoy themselves and keep trying. The class had people of all different skill levels and abilities, and it felt very inclusive. Overall, this was a great introduction class, especially for someone nervous about trying something new. I never once felt self-conscious, and I genuinely had fun. I'd highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to take dance classes, whether you have experience or not. If I were interested in pursuing ballet, I would definitely come back.
