From the reviews

We LOVE Backstage Performing Arts!! My daughter just finished her first year with Miss Becky and from beginning to end she progressed so much. She has taken jazz and tap in the past and decided to branch out and take musical theater.

★★★★★ — Mallory, May 2025

My two kids and I all take classes at Backstage Performing Arts, it has been such a positive experience for all of us. Becky is incredibly talented and accomplished, and she is also a gifted teacher. Her energy is infectious and you cannot help but to smile during the entire class.

My kids and their friends have joined and it is great. There is ballet, musical theater and even hiphop. Not only is it affordable but she is very professional and it gives the kids confidence.

Your first ballet class at BACKSTAGE Performing Arts Center Sacramento

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.
