From the reviews

ACPA is the absolute best! I’ve experienced it all there from renting studios for extracurricular activities, to birthday parties, to taking classes. The teachers are wonderful! It’s locally owned and the owner takes the very best care of all her customers

★★★★★ — Marlee, Feb 2023

We’ve had so many birthdays here and my kids love it every time. I personally took gym and cheerleading here in high school and I’ve been friends with the owner since 5th grade. She’s wonderful and kind!

★★★★★ — Whitney, Feb 2023

My daughter has thrived in dance for the past 4 years at ACPA! We've also hosted 3 birthday parties there. The owner and instructors are so hands-on and passionate.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Feb 2023

Can’t recommend ACPA enough. We’ve had so many birthday parties here AND taken classes. The staff is amazing and you will not be disappointed.

Your first ballet class at ACPA Starkville

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.
