From the reviews
Compass Dance is a place where the dance instructors are not only focusing on teaching different dance forms, technique and skills, but also teaching/re-inforcing character qualities such as kindness, excellence, and discipline.
Compass Dance Academy has great staff and the students who attend are wonderful too : ) I highly recommend.
We love Compass Dance Academy. Not only has our child grown leaps and bounds in her knowledge and abilities, but the environment of learning is superior. The teachers are kind and knowledgeable. They are excellent in instruction. The manor of any interaction is always loving.
I love Compass Dance Academy and their wonderful teachers! They are all knowledgeable teachers and skilled in dance. I especially appreciate their desire to train dancers mind, soul, and body. The attitude of the director spreads to the whole studio, that we are created to worship, and dance is a part of that worship.
Adult ballet at Compass Dance Academy
Compass Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Compass Dance 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.
