The programs they offer
“I love that they know my daughters by name, know me by name, and take the time to talk to us in the lobby or help fix ballet buns as they fall apart.”
“After one class at a new studio, the new instructor complemented my daughter on how well trained she is and what great pointe work she has.”

From the reviews
We are go grateful and happy with Ascend Dance Academy. We put our granddaughter in Pre-Ballet class and she has come out of her shell. She LOVES to dance and loves her teacher Ms. Kristina. The entire staff are so friendly and helpful no matter the issue. Our granddaughter loves going to dance every week.
Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ We do not know where we would be without this studio, as they have gone above and beyond to make sure that their students have had ALL of the creative opportunities possible to dance safely and grow during this pandemic.
The teachers at Ascend are very kind and helpful! I was so happy to find a group wiling to take carful measures during the pandemic but also a group who truly value the individuals they are working with!
Excellent training. My daughter danced with Ascend since they opened their doors, but also danced with many of the teachers for years before Ascend was created. We just love the staff. Recently we moved out of state and needed to find a new studio.
Your first ballet class at Ascend Dance 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.
