From the reviews
Everyone is so nice here! My son is autistic and absolutely loves the tap class he is taking. The teacher makes it enjoyable and shows so much patience! I am so happy I chose Big Country Arts-Academy to teach my son dance. I definitely recommend it for anyone who is interested in learning how to dance!
I love BCAA! They are community centered and it is such an encouraging environment. Ms. Eva is one a kind! She is always so sweet and amazing. She is a beautiful dancer and an inspiring teacher. She is always smiling and always so encouraging! Ms. Amy is great!
Our family's experience at BCAA is a bit out of the norm, but it's been wonderful! My autistic 7 year old daughter has joined Shining Stars, the adaptive dance class taught by Miss Becca. Becca and her team have been amazing!
Big Country Arts Academy is amazing! All three of our daughters attend various genres of dance classes, and we are so blessed to be a part of a dance studio that offers exemplary skills in dance where students feel safe to explore a variety of options. Their instructors are very caring and knowledgeable.
Your first ballet class at Big Country 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.
