From the reviews
My daughter loves having Ms Carly as her ballet teacher! Ms. Carly is so kind and teaches technique with such fun. We love that our child gets to sit in the audience for the recital and watch peers and elder students perform. I honestly can't stress how much we love attending here.
Miss Saeralyn has been an amazing ballet teacher! You can tell she truly enjoys working with children and my daughter has loved learning with her this year. We look forward to continuing her dance journey with Anchorage Music and Dance Center. My son also has been taking piano lessons with Mr.
I absolutely love the piano lessons my kids have at AMDC. Their teachers are very engaging and are quite responsive to the kid's specific style and pace of learning. It has also been amazing to see how well they pivoted to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Joey has been an amazing music teacher for our kids! The classes for beginner piano to intro to Rock band were so much fun for our kids, they were always excited to come back! Can’t wait till next year!
Your first ballet class at Anchorage Music & Dance Center
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.
