From the reviews

Fantastic dance studio for all ages. Great variety of classes. Teachers care about the students. Dancers get amazing individualized attention. My daughter is 10 and has been dancing there for 8 years. Beyond happy with her level of dance. And she LOVES going to dance. That last part to me, is all that matters.

★★★★★ — Erica, Jul 2023

My daughter has been dancing at Creative Arts Dance Academy since she was just 2.5 years old, and now—10 years later—we couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. From the very beginning, the staff has been professional, friendly, and truly dedicated to each dancer's growth, no matter their age or level.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jul 2025

Creative Arts Dance Academy is a fantastic studio in Andover, MA. I’ve been dancing here for 5 years. I have grown so much as a dancer since i joined. i love that i can be apart of the competition team in group dances and in solos/dous and trios. I am getting a very challenging dance education.

Your first ballet class at Creative Arts 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.

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.
