From the reviews

ABA has become a second home to my daughter. The professional and highly trained faculty, provide outstanding ballet training for little ones through pre- professional level. I am continually impressed by their grace, poise, and their high standards. Five stars!

★★★★★ — Tiana, Dec 2019

I can certainly say it's one of the best place to learn the art of ballet in southern California, if not in the entire nation. The details on the technique is unmatched. Two annual full production of ballet theatrical plays is a huge plus.

The instructors are not only highly skilled but also deeply passionate about teaching, creating an environment where students grow both in technique and confidence.

ABA is By Far the Best Ballet Studio. My daughter has been doing ballet for about 6 years now. And we have been to a few dance studios. In the Area. ABA Carters to the Ballerinas.. Which a lot of other dance studio do not as much!!

Your first ballet class at Academy of Ballet 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.

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.
