From the reviews

My daughter and son have been involved with BADA . I can't tell you how impressed I am with them. When my son took ballet in elementary school (he moved on to Ta Kwan Do) they made him comfortable and he excelled. They have a reputation of working well with male dancers and often bring in male instructors.

★★★★★ — Keith, May 2017

I danced for 13 years at this studio and am so grateful for each and every one of the staff members. Each instructor of mine played such a wonderful role in my life as they each helped me grow as a dancer and young adult.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jun 2021

My daughter has had the privilege of dancing at BADA. As a family we have enjoyed the instruction, performances, and the teachers genuineness and concern for each student as an individual.

★★★★★ — Laura, Mar 2025

We have been with BADA for not quite 10 years. The quality instruction my daughter has received is unmatched. The dance instructors pour everything into their dancers. Not only has my child learned proper technique, she's learned the importance of hard work and resilience.

Your first ballet class at Burlington Academy of Dance & Arts

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.
