From the reviews

Ms. Breann is amazing and so special for us. She has been one of Leia's dancing teachers since she first started. She has so much patience with the kids. Especially in the evening when the girls are very chatty. Keep doing a wonderful job !

My daughter has been taking dance at Avalon for many years and loves it. Her teachers push her to grow in positive ways. She loves her amazing teachers, particularly Ms. Tori and Ms. Marie!

★★★★★ — Heidi, May 2024

We’ve loved our experience at Avalon and we were thrilled when our daughter had Miss Bri again this year. Its such a supportive and positive environment and not at all pretentious. When asked, my daughter typed the following message about Miss Bri….

★★★★★ — Lauren, May 2025

Our family has been part of the Avalon family for 20 years. Two of my girls danced with the school since its inception. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff, teachers and people we have met over the course of years. They have been more than a dance school, they are family.

Your first ballet class at Avalon School of the Arts

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.
