From the reviews

Sierra is an amazing dance educator and role model and we are beyond excited that she is opening her own studio! Talented and creative she is FUN and more than a dance teacher. She is INVESTED in her students and their families.

★★★★★ — Amy, May 2021

Miss Sierra is truly an amazing person all around. We couldn’t imagine our daughter’s dance world without her in it. She loves her students as if they were her own and creates such a special connection to each and every one of them.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Jul 2021

We love Sierra and you will, too! Sierra is an excellent dance teacher and an outstanding role model for young dancers. She has amazing energy, an outstanding sense of humor, and a true love of teaching dance. She has taught my daughter dance for 5 years (since she was 8): ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and hip hop.

★★★★★ — Alene, May 2021

My kiddo and our family love All In Dance Academy! Sierra and Joey are truly wonderful - so helpful, kind, and understanding! We have been with All In for 3 years and plan to continue calling this our dance home. A week after recital (!) she is still doing all the moves from the dances she has learned this year.

Your first ballet class at All In Dance Academy

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.
