★★★★☆ — K, Jun 2022

My daughter has had an incredible dance experience at Chrissy's Dance Academy! This coming year marks her eighth year with CDA. The dedication and expertise of the instructors are truly commendable. They not only teach dance but also instill confidence, discipline, and a passion for the art form.

★★★★★ — Magdala, Aug 2023

We are at today's show and one family saved 10 seats with a blanket. Even after the show started, they continue to HOG 6 chairs. Cops had to make them move and we are at scene 12 and still HOGGING 5 CHAIRS. Chrissys dance studio is a great place and the instructors are great...

Your first ballet class at Chrissy's 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.
