As a former student, graduate, and proud mom of current students at Amarilys Academy of Dance Arts, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible impact this dance school has on its students. Beyond the artistry and technique, the school's emphasis on discipline, structure, and preparation for the future sets it apart.
A Lifetime of Excellence and Family at Amarily's Academy of Dance Arts I have had the immense privilege of being part of Amarily's Academy of Dance Arts (AADA) for over 40 years, both as a former graduate and now as an aunt to current students. My journey with Amarilys and AADA has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Your first ballet class at Amarilys Academy of Dance Arts
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.
