From the reviews

My daughters loved their first season of ballet, tap, and jazz dance at CAA. Mrs. Julie sets the expectations high but at the same time is patient and kind. Mrs. Abby is wonderful also.

★★★★★ — Heather, Jun 2022

Great studio for beginner dancers! Everyone is very patient and professional with the children. Beginning Karate classes are also good to teach focus and following directions to young students.

My daughter has been dancing at CAA for three years and we couldn't be happier with the experience. CAA is a wonderful classical ballet studio that focuses on teaching technique and growing each child as a dancer.

Your first ballet class at Collierville Arts 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.
