I'm learning ballet as an adult, Ms. Claire is very accommodating, helpful and gives the corrections I need. Rates are affordable too.Edit: I just wanted to come back to say how much I've enjoyed the classes! I feel challenged and motivated with each lesson, and the private instruction was exactly what I needed to improve my technique. Love love love this studio!
