From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing at the academy for over a year. First she joined the recreation dance class with the awesome Miss Brandy, and then for the competition team with Miss Tammy.
My daughter did two years of the rec dance at The Academy and learned a tremendous amount. Her love for dance has also grown. She now has graduated to "The Company" (competition squad at the Academy).
We are very happy we chose AFTPA. Our daughter's face lights up when she talks about her teachers and studio sisters. Tammy and her staff do an amazing job teaching the girls. If you're looking for a dance studio, I would highly recommend AFTPA.
My daughter absolutely loves Academy For the Performing Arts. Miss Tammy and all the teachers are knowledgable, patient, and just plain amazing. We have tried other dance studios in the area, but AFTPA is the best hands down!
Your first ballet class at Academy For the 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.
