Our Classes
What We're About
At Studio 696 we believe that community is at the heart of any successful studio space. Whether your child is having their first encounter with ballet or you are an adult re-establishing your relationship or just starting out with dance, or you are an avid Pilates or yoga goer we want to be a space that is both aspiring, full of escapism and a place where you can express yourself with zero judgment or pressure.
We believe that the magic of ballet and the craftsmanship of technique are intertwined. Our mission is to provide a destination where these two elements can flourish. As a former ballerina, our director understands the importance of preserving the art form while also encouraging creativity, self-expression, musicality, and form.
Our baby ballet and adult ballet classes are designed to nurture each student’s growth and development as a dancer, as well as simply having fun. Our small and intimate classes emphasize proper technique while also fostering an environment that encourages creativity and self-expression.
