From the reviews
Nice school and new location is fabulous. Teachers are rigorous and professional but also very approachable and willing to talk and answer questions. My lack of 5 stars comes from the following--NOT from the level of teaching, etc... *Wish the waiting area wasn't also the stretching/ballet tote bag area, as well.
I am getting so emotional writing this review, as I first do not know where to begin, since there are so many wonderful things I could mention about this studio, and secondly, because I moved for college and I devastatingly had to leave this year.
My 16 year old daughter transferred to this studio earlier this year. She wanted to find a studio that was serious about ballet, focused on technique and had a strong training program. After a week of trial classes she fell in love with the studio.
My daughter has been part of Almayeva Ballet Academy for 4 years. During this time she has had the opportunity to participate at the Nutcracker, Spring recitals, local and international competitions and every time showing improvement on veganova technic, and also made lots of friends! Thank you to all the teachers!
Adult ballet at Almayeva Ballet Academy
Almayeva Ballet Academy runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Almayeva 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.
