From the reviews

My two daughters have been a part of the BDA family for seven years! We love Broadway Dance Academy!!! Miss Christine treats the dancers like they were her own children. She is amazing!!! The staff is wonderful!!! The students have built strong relationships with each other. Great group of parents!

★★★★★ — Danielle, Jun 2019

Our oldest daughter just started her first year at BDA and we couldn’t be happier. She absolutely loves it! Miss Christine is an absolute doll and the staff is amazing. They just had the recital and it was unbelievable. My parents said it was better than a Broadway show! We are extremely pleased with BDA.

★★★★★ — Amy, Jun 2019

This was my daughters first year dancing there and she absolutely LOVED it! The teachers are amazing and the whole staff is so nice. They put on an amazing recital this year and I can't wait to see what they do in the years to come. I'm so happy that we chose BDA to start her dancing career.

Adult ballet at Broadway Dance Academy

Broadway 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 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.

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.
