From the reviews

This will be my daughters fourth year at Avante, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! My child has struggled with anxiety, and finding a nurturing environment was essential. From our very first visit, the staff was incredibly welcoming and understanding.

★★★★★ — Heather, Oct 2024

I’ve been dancing at Avante since I was about 4 years old. I am still dancing there today on the competition team. The staff is great and makes sure the needs of every child is reached. They are family friendly and also make dance/gymnastics fun. It’s a great place.

★★★★★ — Brad, Oct 2019

My daughter and I LOVE this FAMILY of dancers and gymnasts!!! Not knowing much about dance or gymnastics, we originally selected this establishment due to the great location in Heath which is center to everything we do.

Your first ballet class at Avanté Dance & Gymnastics

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.
