This place is a life saver. It’s hard to find people you can trust with kids. They do not put up with bullying,and will teach the little ones to have self confidence. I personally recommend Katie Mcmullen. Think I spelled her name right. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

★★★★★ — Jim, Jan 2023

Love A2J and their instructors. Nit only do the teach their students the art of dance. They also reach them about acceptance, love and respect. They do nit but up with any bullying, everyone is treated like family.

★★★★★ — Tara, Jan 2023

I’m going to be honest. My daughter is crazy. I needed something to wear her out. After class which she loves,she goes straight to sleep. Best way for her to learn,and get out all that energy.

Adult ballet at A2J Crew Dance Kompany

A2J Crew Dance Kompany 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 A2J Crew Dance Kompany

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
