From the reviews
We love Avant Garde Theater of Dance! My daughter has learned so much in the year and a half she has been a part of the studio. She has fallen more in love with the art of dance. The staff is very professional and courteous. They support their dancers in every way possible.
Our family absolutely loves Avant Garde. Our daughter has been enrolled since January 2021 and they have been great the whole time. We have seen how much our daughter has learned and grown as a dancer. They are more than a dance school, they are a family! Mr. Chris and Mrs.
We absolutely love Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Cole at Avant Garde Theatre of Dance! My daughter has been dancing here for 5 years (I believe since they opened up here in Ennis), and the growth we’ve seen in her confidence, technique, skills, and passion is truly incredible.
My daughter joined Avant after attending a summer camp in 2021. She has flourished with her confidence, her love for dance and her determination. She loves dance and all of the staff at Avant. To watch her do what she loves with so much passion and dedication is amazing.
Your first ballet class at Avant Garde Theatre 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.
