From the reviews
Our daughter has been dancing with Dance Allegro Academy since 2015. Our daughter has improved her technique and skills each year. She has become friends with the most incredible young women and they each have amazing parents!
Our daughters are here and have been at a few studios before. They have had a totally different experience at Allegro. Previously they struggled to engage our daughters and they felt left out. We also had some negative experiences with "dance parents" at other studios before. Allegro felt different when we walked in.
We couldn’t be more pleased with our daughter’s development as a dancer at Dance Allegro Academy. Jessica focuses on their technique and communicates with the kids in a way that encourages them and pushes them all while making them feel special and supported.
My daughter has grown so much in the one year she’s been with Jessica at Dance Allegro. She’s been dancing since she was 3 and this is hands down the best studio/teachers we’ve had!!!!
Adult ballet at Dance Allegro Academy
Dance Allegro 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 Dance Allegro 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.
