From the reviews
For the person saying that the instructors are overweight, shame on you. Dancing is for everyone no matter the shape or size, yet you have to nerve to think that all dancers are skinny and paper thin. I’ve been at D.A.B for 8+ years and I can say that this is the best place for dancers in the Bartlett area.
I feel lucky that my kids have the chance to go to an exciting and inspiring Victorian studio to dance! The best way I can describe Mrs. Tracy is that she’s always spot on, always appropriate to the situation.
Today was Aliyah's first dance class. As a parent of an child with autism I will recommend this academy 10x over. Mrs Amanda was the absolute best and completely patient with Aliyah. My daughter loves to dance she just has very bad social anxiety.
Love this studio! We’ve been attending since 2016. I enjoy how they balance teaching the fundamentals of dance and technique while at the same time fostering a fun environment so that the dancer falls in love with their craft. Love the recitals and competitions. Looking forward to watching my girls continually grow!
Your first ballet class at Dance Academy of Bartlett
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.
