Ms. Blair is our favorite, she is a patient, skilled and professional instructor. We have taken several different genres of dance and enjoyed them all. All the instructors have been very professional and driven to help students succeed. I would recommend this studio to beginning through experienced dancers.

ADT is amazing!! The teachers are kind and supportive, the studios are welcoming and clean, the staff is friendly, and a wide range of classes and styles are offered, from creative movement for young children to hip-hop, jazz, acro, and modern to advanced ballet for older students.

Your first ballet class at Alaska Dance Theatre

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.
