From the reviews

Being fairly new to the area, both my daughters were eager to find a new dance school to go to. I researched quite a bit and kept coming back to ADA. They were so kind and patient while i basically hammered them with questions about everything from pricing to schedules etc.

★★★★★ — Jen, Jan 2018

My daughter loves going to Auburn dance Academy. She is enjoying the classes and also the company of the other students. The owners of this academy are so hands on and very much involved, which we really appreciate because we see that they care about the kids and their learning skills.

★★★★★ — Juna, Mar 2024

My daughter absolutely loves this dance studio (as do I). The owners are very friendly and professional and make you feel right at home. And I can't say enough great things about the dance teachers. They are simply amazing. Very positive and encouraging.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Dec 2019

Such an amazing place. The owners are absolutely fabulous. They make you feel like you are part of their family. The teachers are so supporting and encouraging. I feel very fortunate to have found this studio and that my kids have the chance to dance for such an awesome studio.

Your first ballet class at Auburn 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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
