From the reviews
Amanda and the instructors at AC Dance are talented, inspirational and growth-minded. My daughters are both interested in dance but have different goals. One is a pure dancer, who will be continuing her dance education in college, and the other is pursuing musical theater.
Amanda is a technical and attentive teacher. I really felt the small but IMPORTANT improvements I made throughout my week with her as part of a one week intensive. I definitely plan to take more classes with her in the future.
The director, Miss Amanda got our daughter into School of American Ballet Junior Summer Camp Program. She’s not only an impressive dancer herself but also a great teacher and a leader. She cultivates high standard and strong work ethic and wishes each student’s own success.
AC Dance is such a great dance school. My daughter started when she had just turned 5, and loved every classes since then. We always look forward to the winter and spring recitals, you can definitely see the hardwork each dancer and teachers put in it! Ms.
Adult ballet at AC Dance
AC Dance 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 AC Dance
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.
