From the reviews
I love this school. They always make me feel welcome. The owner and staff are amazing at what they do and it shows in their dancers.
My daughter is new to the studio, but already I am impressed with how much her technical skills (and listening skills) have improved in just a few short weeks. The class structure is perfect for her age group and attention span.
My son has been attending BAD for going on 2 years now. We love the warm and welcoming environment and the range of classes available. All of the teachers that he's had have been wonderful and the small class sizes allow for plenty of attention for each student and the chance for kids and teachers to bond in a way…
My daughter has been attending classes for several years now and joined the competitive team in 2024. She has loved all her teachers and learns so much from them in addition to technique. The studio provides great one on one attention and a supportive environment that challenges the students while encouraging them.
Your first ballet class at Batavia Academy of Dance Inc
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.
