From the reviews
Avant Garde Dance Academy has been an incredible second home for my daughter—this is her 5th year with the company, and the growth we’ve seen in her technique, confidence, and artistry has been amazing. Each year she continues to improve, but this year truly stood out.
Avant -Grande Dance Academy have a great selection of dance classes for children, young people and adults. They have a brilliant attitude towards dance for children. The teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter looks forward to going to class.
Avant Dance Academy has been an absolutely incredible experience for our family. From the moment my daughter started, it was clear this wasn’t just about dance it’s about building confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for dance. My daughter truly loves going to class every week. Mrs.
Unparalleled dedication, organization, kindness , courtesy, expertise etc. Veterans in dance on paper only, when we first joined Avant-garde we did it in the hopes that our girls would grow and learn their favorite form of expression, dance. Ms. Rod superseded our expectations.
Your first ballet class at Avant-Garde 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.
