From the reviews
My daughter has been dancing since the age of two and came to this studio when she was seven. She is in her fifth year at AABD. She absolutely loves her teachers! AABD has encouraged dedication and the desire to strive for excellence in my daughter. She has grown exponentially here!
Our daughter has been taking ballet with AABD for 5 years. Susan and all the teachers have been incredible. They teach technique and discipline, while giving critique in a positive manner. We are grateful for the studio being such a positive accepting environment for our daughter.
Atlanta Academy of Ballet and Dance is an amazing professionally operated dance studio. My daughters have danced with AABD for several years and have flourished under the instruction of the Artistic Director, Susan Beebe and the other wonderful instructors.
My daughter has been attending here a couple of years now. We love it. The teachers we've had have all been very professional yet kind towards 3-5 yr olds. Other ballet/dance schools we've tried lacked organization and direction (understandably) for these younger ages, but somehow, the students in the classes here…
Your first ballet class at Atlanta Academy of Ballet and Dance
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.
