From the reviews

We have had such an amazing experience with Alliance Academy of Dance! My daughter joined the Kinder program halfway through this past year in the spring and has also attended some of the summer camps. In just that short time, she has grown so much and has really come out of her shell.

★★★★★ — Nina, Sep 2025

AAD is the best! Absolutely thrilled with my daughter's experience at Alliance! From the moment she joined, the staff has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. The instructors are not only talented but also passionate about nurturing each dancer's skills and confidence.

★★★★★ — Trisha, Sep 2025

If you’re looking for your dancer to have the best experience-from recreational to competitive-ALLIANCE IS THE STUDIO FOR YOU! My girls wake up every day wanting that day to be their “dance day”. The staff keep the environment fun and exciting, while also giving the best dance knowledge Pocatello has to offer.

★★★★★ — Scout, Sep 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alliance Academy of Dance is hands down the nicest dance studio in town! I have two daughters who dance here, and they absolutely love their teachers and classmates. The professionalism and care that go into every student are unmatched.

Your first ballet class at Alliance Academy of Dance

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.
