From the reviews

My daughter's participate in Cole Academy Company Dance, and their love for dance is enormous. My oldest daughter started with Mommy and Me classes at 18 months and hasn't looked back in the last 14 years. Through this pandemic, Cole has remained a safe place for my daughters to receive training.

★★★★★ — Sara, Feb 2021

My daughter and son are both involved with activities at the Cole Academy. My son just started ninja warriors and he loves it. The coach is willing to show how to do the activities she has planned for them instead of just trying to tell a 4 year old this is what you do now do it.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Apr 2022

We started with this studio 10 years ago and are still currently enrolled. We have loved our experience at Cole! We have participated in many aspects of the studio: recreational dance, recreational gymnastics, Ninja Zone, boys gymnastics, competitive dance, cheer tumbling, dance tumbling, summer camps, and privates.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Feb 2021

We love Cole Academy! The teachers and staff are top notch, and so amazing with my children. They take their time and are so dedicated to teaching my children in a very fun, safe, and accepting environment! Cole not only offers dance and gymnastics, but they also have a great cheer program!

Your first ballet class at Cole Academy of Dance Gymnastics & Cheerleading Inc.

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.
