From the reviews
Ballet Arts Academy has been the best, most healthy change for our dancer...she is growing daily in confidence and technique! We are so grateful for Miss Mimi's healthy and inviting atmosphere and the care and attention she gives to every student.
Ballet Arts Academy is a fantastic place to bring your dancer. Ms. Mimi is full of energy, positive with every student, and passionate about teaching each of her students as much as she can about ballet. She takes time to work with every student and sees the best in them.
I’ve been dancing at Ballet Arts Academy since the age of 10. That’s just about 5 years ago and I can say from experience my time here has been amazing. We’re very welcoming and have amazing training with a stellar teacher. I’ve progressed so much during my time here at Ballet Arts Academy.
Great Ballet Studio. Brought my daughter here from another studio and she learned more in 2 weeks about ballet than she learned from doing Ballet the past 2 years somewhere else. Mimi has a great way of teaching and is very hands-on. Every dancer gets her undivided attention.
Your first ballet class at Ballet Arts 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.
