From the reviews

I am beyond impressed with the customer service Ive been given at Clermont Academy of Dance. My daughter is 4 years old and is beyond shy and suffers from separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to place her in an extracurricular in order to help build her social skills.

★★★★★ — Vanessa, Aug 2022

We have been sending our kids to CAD for over 16 years, we have never been happier. Exceptional staff that creates extremely positive and inclusive environment to shape kids not only into dancers but mature and responsible young adults. Our son and daughter have both attended and it's been a second home for both.

Your first ballet class at Clermont Academy of Dance

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.
