From the reviews

Columbus DanceArts Academy is such an amazing dance studio. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the growth of your dancer. I love that the focus is on performance so the dancers have a lot of opportunity to perform different shows, which is what most dancers love most.

★★★★★ — Lindsey, Feb 2025

CDA has been an amazing experience for my 4 year old. It is her first time dancing and it has been a great introduction and there are many classes and summer camps to keep her interest as she grows!

★★★★★ — Meghan, Feb 2025

My daughters have been dancing here for years! The teachers and staff are incredible and the recitals are so much fun!

★★★★★ — Jordan, Feb 2025

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this studio! My daughter attends a 3/4 year old class this year, she started in 2/3 year olds last season. She loves Ms Erin and I love how much she gets out of class.

Your first ballet class at Columbus DanceArts 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.
