From the reviews

We couldn’t be more happy to be at Collective Dance Artistry. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted by a smiling face and a very warm welcome. It is extremely organized, reasonably priced and there are no surprise hidden fees.

The studio is great if you have a serious dance competitor on your hands but if you have a young kid who likes to do it for fun and to make friends than it may not be a good fit. My daughter loved her teacher and their recital was very cute.

★★★★☆ — Tess, Jul 2024

We have been at Collective Dance Artistry since the day it opened 10 years ago. This is the best studio in the area. The training is the best in the area. The teachers are amazing! My girls started with Miss Ashley at ages 3 and 8... my oldest had a great experience and is continuing her dance career...

★★★★★ — Shelly, Aug 2018

Collective Dance Artistry is our daughters second home. Our family moved into the San Antonio area three years ago, and immediately began looking for the perfect studio for her. Ashley Lopez and her amazing staff greeted us with open arms as soon as we entered the building.

Your first ballet class at Collective Dance Artistry

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.
