From the reviews

The training at the California dance Arts academy level is superb! The Artistic Director Aerin Holt is an amazing educator and innovator . She pushes all of us to be better and stay excited about our craft.

★★★★★ — Katie, Nov 2017

My daughters have thrived at this studio! One is in the pre-professional program and loves ballet, but has discovered she also loves contemporary/modern. The other takes dance but is obsessed with aerial and acro. So happy there is a place for both of them!

★★★★★ — Maya, Dec 2020

Great little dance studio! My daughter has been attending classes here for 8 years and is still having a blast! The classes are small, allowing individual attention. The teachers are caring and wonderful.

Your first ballet class at California DanceArts & California Contemporary Ballet

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.
