“Not inexpensive but very professional instruction.”

From the reviews

We have had four children attend this studio. Each has grown as a person and as a dancer thanks to the teachers and the positive atmosphere the studio offers. The academy offers arguably the best ballet training in the tri-country area, as demonstrated through the dancers who do quite well when they enter competitive,…

Your first ballet class at Ballet Academy Ventura

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.
