Live With Janicka

Where are LIVE classes held?

LIVE classes are held at Preston Hollow Dance located at 3720 Walnut Hill Lane Ste #205 Dallas, TX 75229

Do I have to sign-up online?

To avoid any long lines at the studio, we recommend that you enroll through our digital link; however, you are more than welcome to enroll in class at the studio.

How should I prepare for my first class at the studio?

We recommend that you eat and hydrate at least (1) hour prior to class and complete some light stretching before the start of class.

What should I bring with me to class?
  • Cute leotard or form-fitting outfit that makes you feel confident
  • Art of VII Apparel from Janicka’s Shop for cover-ups 🙂
  • Comfortable Ballet Shoes (should feel like socks)
  • Water Bottle
  • Towel
  • Positive Attitude
  • Courage
Can I still take class if I do not have ballet shoes?

Ballet shoes are preferred; but we understand that “life” happens. So, if you need your daily dose of ballet, but don’t have the necessary shoes, we recommend that you wear socks.

Do I have to wear leotard and tights to class?

Not unless you so desire! Form fitting clothes are appropriate to monitor your alignment.

How often should I come to class?

Dancer, the more you come to class, the quicker you’ll see results. One of my teachers once said to me: “One day off in the studio is like taking a week off”.

I couldn’t agree more.
