From the reviews

I take my three year old here and it's nice but there are a couple things.. You never speak to the teachers about your child, and if so it's because you have to initiate the conversation and even then it's the most vague responses like if I ask if my daughter is picking it up or how is she doing they say, "yeah" or…

★★★★☆ — Unknown, Feb 2020

I've been taking my 9 year old here since she was 4. Now her two younger sisters go as well. It's a great studio with great teachers and prices. I would recommend them to anyone.

★★★★★ — Melanie, Sep 2019

Your first ballet class at Canyon 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.
