From the reviews
My 6yo daughter loves Ashley Ballet. She has had 2 years of lessons and a couple summer camps with Ashley Ballet. We haven't met a teacher she hasn't loved. Great studio to learn ballet! 10/26/2024 Update: Daughter is 9yo now, and we still love ABAA. The studio keeps getting better.
My daughter, Ruth, has been so blessed by the excellent teaching, the warm friendly environment, and the many performance opportunities she's received at Ashley Ballet Arts Academy!
Friendly, fun,and professional atmosphere. Beautiful and clean dance studios with excellent teaching staff. Unique in that they truly focus on ballet and specialize in pre-professional training. Rare find in studios. Productions are elegant, fun, and amazing in performance with young students!
Best ballet studio in the area. Dancers are challenged but have fun. They make friends and strive to be the best they can be.
Your first ballet class at Ashley Ballet Arts 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.
