From the reviews
Best dance school in town with great teachers. Love how everyone help kids push their limits and helping each other. Teachers are very knowledgeable and very helpful and professional and understand the abilities of each student in the class and recommend areas of improvement accordingly.
We have been a part of the Academy of the Arts family for over 6 years and love it! My daughter has meant friends for life and has enjoyed her experience.
My daughter loves all of the wonderful opportunities to express herself! The staff and owner make it so much fun!
Dance is different from other sports and activities. It's difficult in a very healthy, complimentary, and beneficial way. It stresses solo and team aspects as well as timing, balance, motion, rhythm, strength, and most of all performance. At this studio, Hip Hop rocks with Mr Manuel! The dude is the real deal.
Your first ballet class at Academy of the 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.
