From the reviews
Excellent ballet school for our daughter. Teachers are great and highly qualified and the kids seem to have a blast. They are also serious about helping the kids advance in Ballet if they are interested and the whole school puts on a beautiful ballet production every spring at a local auditorium.
Wonderful instruction in Vaganova style ballet with an annual Nutcracker performance.
Your first ballet class at Ave Maria Academy of Ballet
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.
