From the reviews

This is my daughter's second year with ABA and they have far exceeded my expectations! She not only learns technique and terminology, but she is gaining an appreciation for ballet as an art form. She doesn't just learn moves to a dance from the Nutcracker or Swan Lake, but she learns about the characters and the story.

We came to ABA 2 years ago and I would not consider going elsewhere. My daughters (5 and 8) are learning excellent technique from professional teachers, in an encouraging environment.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Sep 2017

Wonderful studio with a great family atmosphere and teachers who strive for excellence! I have been coming to this studio since it first opened, and I have learned so much during my time here!

★★★★★ — Laura, Nov 2017

I have loved training with Nurlan and Aygul, the incredible teachers at this school. I have been training with them since I was 14 and I have never been disappointed. The amount of growth I have had as a dancer has been immense.

Your first ballet class at Allegro Ballet 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.
