Fabulous instructors and caring community. Entertaining productions that your child will love being part of. Try a class or attend their upcoming production.
The people here are wonderful. Fantastic with my 3 year old. She couldn't be happier with her dance classes.
My daughter has been dancing here for years. The teachers are so wonderful: Miss Christy, Miss Bernadette, the lovely and talented Melissa and of course, Mr Keith the owner, have given her such amazing training and instruction.
Your first ballet class at Abernethy Performing Arts
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.
