From the reviews
We take out 7 year old hear for dance. It is one of the cheaper places in terre haute. If your daughter or son is interested this is a good place to start and grow. The instructors are very good with the kids. And the owners are also very nice and understanding.
My kids have been dancing with Patti since her early yrs! Wonderful environment! Ver positive. Everyone is welcomed, no matter the body type or ability, yet she continues to produce outstanding dancers and amazing shows every year!!
Warm and friendly dance academy for children and adults. Great owners are Patti and Richard Willey. Students learn many dance skills and learn to perform on stage and in front of the public with huge performances. A very professional approach to dance.

Your first ballet class at Academy of 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.
