From the reviews

My 4 year old is in her second year and LOVING ballet, tap, and hippity hop. Both Ms. Emma at the main location and Ms. Lydia at the north location have been fabulous! I especially love how Ms. Lydia takes time to both help my daughter with technique and encourage her to be the best little dancer she can be!

★★★★★ — Haleigh, Oct 2022

My daughter has danced at CDA for 12 years. She absolutely loves it! She has enjoyed every class from her first ballet class to her Company classes and everything in between. It’s where she's met her best friends and favorite teachers.

★★★★★ — Gina, Jul 2022

My 10yo daughter joined CDA after 6 years of not dancing. She has felt welcomed in just the 4 times she's attended. She enjoys the variety of classes, instructions, class size and what they're learning.

★★★★★ — Joanna, Sep 2025

Positive encouragement for sure! My daughter's confidence has been boosted even more as she continues to dance for CDA!

Your first ballet class at Cumming 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.
