From the reviews
A & G Dance Academy is a premier dance academy with professional instructors, a multitude of classes in all genres, including contortion and silks. My daughter and son have grown immensely in their abilities since coming to this studio. The level of professionalism both in and out of class is very welcoming.
Wow, this place was fantastic from the moment I stepped in. I appreciated the warm welcome and super easy check in. I came for a straps class and it was well structured with an amazing instructor that was very talented.
A&G is SO much more than just a dance studio, it’s a second home to my daughter and our family. All the instructors are incredibly talented, supportive, and genuinely care about each student’s growth in and out of the classroom. The environment is welcoming and full of positive energy.
Mathieu & Karen are top notch coaches! Their energy is magnetic! Their patience and professionalism made me feel immediately comfortable as this was my first time trying anything like this. I did the hammock class and then the stretch class directly after. The members were very inclusive and made me feel welcome.
Adult ballet at A & G Dance Academy
A & G Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at A & G Dance Academy
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
