From the reviews
The instruction at ASCB is among the best! That is precisely why we drive a long distance several days per week for this exceptional Vaganova training. I have a son and a daughter that have taken ballet at ASCB since they were 5 years old.
First of all Mr. Kharatian and Ms.Irina are both incredible instructors and have danced professionally. I am honored to have them teach my grand daughter. The technique that she has learned in the short time she has been there speaks volumes. The admin staff are friendly and professional.
Both my daughters have been coming to ASCB since they were 3 years old... they started as little angels in Nutcracker and now they are almost ready for point. Couldn't ask for more. Fantastic opportunity for kids to perform in real ballet on big stage twice a year with professionals and the best of costumes!!! Ms.
I love the staff. I love how they were all professional dancers, so they know what it takes to get there and most importantly my daughter loves this place, the people, and the atmosphere. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Your first ballet class at Arizona School of Classical Ballet
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.
