From the reviews
Our 11 year old daughter loves The Dance Academy. She loves her Ballet instructor and her Acrobatic 2 instructor. The office staff is very nice as well. She has learned a lot, and looks forward to every class.
This will be my oldest daughter's 9th year at the studio and her 4th year on the competition team and we love it there. Everyone is very nice, there's a huge selection of dance styles, and they're not over-the-top strict about attire and such.
My daughter will be starting her 7th year in the fall and we have had a wonderful experience! Love the teachers and the family atmosphere.
The family atmosphere and great instructors make this Academy the best in the area!
Your first ballet class at 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.
