From the reviews
Avery Ranch Dance and Music has been absolutely wonderful! Their communication is top-notch. They’ve been so helpful in answering all of our questions. My 10 year old is so excited to join the dance family and can’t wait to learn and grow in such a positive environment.
We have been at Avery Ranch Dance for over 10 years and my boy/girl twins started when they were 20 months old. My daughter has continued on all these years later, and we have always had the best teachers and the best experience.
Avery Ranch Dance and Music has been a great choice for my daughter. The variety and classes and times works for our schedules. The staff and the instructors have been wonderful! I highly recommend this studio.
My daughter just joined Avery Ranch Dance and Music for Hip Hop class. She thoroughly enjoys it and the teachers are really good and energetic. I like that they allow you to take free trial classes too.
Adult ballet at AVERY RANCH DANCE and MUSIC
AVERY RANCH DANCE and MUSIC runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at AVERY RANCH DANCE and MUSIC
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.
