From the reviews

Such an amazing studio with wonderful and caring teachers. Very supportive no matter what stage the dancer is at. My daughter really loves dancing here and has found a great group of like minded souls to connect with. The shows they create are the kind of shows you fly your family in for!

★★★★★ — J, Jun 2023

This is the best dance school I can Imangine to teacher and help nurture the growth of our young dancer. The instructors are qualified experienced professionals who mix real leaning and teaching technique with lots of fun and forging great bonds with other dancers.

Your first ballet class at Central Washington 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.
