From the reviews
My daughter has been attending for a couple of years now and the experience has been stellar, the instructors are knowledgeable and great with the kids, plenty of class options and levels, we will be a part of this academy for a long time.
Life changing!!! Words cannot even begin to describe how much Mrs. Sarah, Mrs Deborah, and Mr. Jimmy have gone above and beyond to make us feel at home. My soon to be 6 yr old little boy has began ballet classesand is ecstatic to attend every class.
100% recomendada Estoy encantada con la academia. Las instalaciones son impecables y el ambiente es siempre acogedor y profesional. Los maestros son increíblemente talentosos y dedicados, ofreciendo atención personalizada a cada alumno. Mi hija ha crecido tanto técnica como artísticamente desde que empezó aquí.

Adult ballet at Deborah Case Dance Academy
Deborah Case Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Deborah Case 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.
