From the reviews
The Asheville Academy of Ballet is such a welcoming place for dancers of all ages and backgrounds. The faculty combine excellent training in ballet, modern, contemporary, pointe, PBT, conditioning, and more with genuine warmth and personal care.
The teachers are amazing! They use positive reinforcement to teach. My daughter and her friends had been attending since she was 4 years old for a little of modern and since she was 5 years old from creative ballet. And you can see the results of such wonderful teachers.
Your first ballet class at Asheville Academy of 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.
