From the reviews

I’ve always loved dancing. Watching people dance, move, loose themselves in it - always made me a little envy, jealous of them. I tried couple of different dance schools in the area - to be honest did not like them, for different reasons. So signing up for Academie de danse was not an easy decision.

We took dancing lessons because my (now) husband and I were not best dancers and wanted to surprise our parents with some kind of dance routine for our first dance. w We knew they would just expect us to sway back and forth, and we wanted to learn.

Ania was a fantastic dance instructor for our first dance at our wedding! We had only about a month before our wedding to learn a dance and Ania did a fantastic job teaching us the choreography while also being able to match our ability.

Highly recommend Academie de danse! We learned our first dance with them. Anna touch us step by step. She is professional and pleasure to work with. If you want to have a beautiful first wedding dance go to Anna from Academie de danse you won’t be disappointed!

Your first ballet class at ACADEMIE DE DANSE, INC.

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.
