From the reviews
Truly professional, highly experienced instructors coupled with diverse arts opportunities in dance, music and theater, as well as, warm, friendly and energetic personalities make Broadway Arts & Dance Academy a great place to be! Highly recommend!
We just enrolled our 8year old for ballet/tap class. My daughter loves Miss April. We, the parents, are loving how clean and new the building is. Wonderful location.
I wish I had found this place sooner! Jason and April are amazing people with hearts of gold. I cannot thank them enough for all of their help. We came to them as we started the college audition process for BFA Musical Theatre.
My daughter has been a student at the academy since fall of 2019. April and Jason are just about the nicest people you'll ever meet and made us feel so welcome the first time we met them.
Adult ballet at Broadway Arts & Dance Academy
Broadway Arts & Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Broadway Arts & Dance 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.
