From the reviews

We love Belle Academy. It's a wonderful technique oriented, non-competition studio.

★★★★★ — Katie, Apr 2022

Our 6 year old son absolutely loved his 1st class. The instructor was professional yet fun for the younger students. She kept their attention while keeping a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend.

★★★★★ — Alyssa, May 2018

My 9-year old daughter has been doing ballet/tap here for 3 years and we absolutely love it.

Your first ballet class at Belle Academy of Dance

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.
