From the reviews
Very professional place with a great caring staff of people. A place where you can drop your little dancers off and you will know that they are being taken care of as well as learning to dance as opposed to just being a glorified babysitter for a few hours. I would recommend you give them a try!
My daughter takes dance here and we absolutely love it! The teachers are hard workers and really care about the children. As far as dancing goes, the teachers are knowledgeable and really seem to take the time to work one on one with each child. I definitely recommend this studio to others.
I am absolutely amazed at how much and how well they teach the children! They are so good on recital days the youngest groups dance without instructors in front of them! Beautiful performances and my daughter absolutely loves dancing!!
I have been a dancer for over 25 years and now my daughter dances. The teachers here have become our family and I look forward to watching my daughter dance for the next 25 years here!
Your first ballet class at Augusta Youth School of 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.
