From the reviews
The Ballet Academy is a fantastic studio for all ages. It is bright, well organized and a wonderful place to learn dance! I have taken classes at there for over 20 years and I'm now a dance teacher there.
The Ballet Academy is a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. Alison runs the BA with positivity and integrity, and to ensure that dance is accessible to all who want to partake.
The Ballet Academy is wonderfully run studio. It is a very clean environment and the teachers are very supportive. Great dance studio for kids to learn the basics without being competitive.
Having grown up dancing here, nothing could have prepared me better for a collegiate dance education than the Ballet Academy. Having attended a few other studios in the area, what sets Alison and the Ballet Academy apart is the love she pours into every student and every child.
Your first ballet class at Ballet 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.
