From the reviews

What a fantastic studio! These instructors love and push their students to excel. Their two competitions this Spring have been amazing with the highest awards! Their expectations for their dancers are high, as are mine! You want quality? You want professionalism? You want your child to learn from the best?

AAODA is definitely the best studio around. The teachers have a love for dance and do a great job of sharing it to the dancers. This definitely isn’t your average studio, it’s a family.

Your first ballet class at Amy's 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.

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.
