From the reviews

My daughter did the mommy & me class in the spring with miss Jaden for the first time as a great introductory to ballet. The facility and teachers are amazing! My daughter can't wait to be in the nutcracker this upcoming season.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Aug 2025

I’ve being doing BAP for 4 1/2 years and it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve met best friends, improved my flexibility and self confidence and have the nicest teachers! I love being able to do their Nutcracker and Spring Gala performances. I highly recommend joining Ballet Academy of Pittsburgh!

Your first ballet class at Ballet Academy of Pittsburgh

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.
