The offer tap, lyrical, ballet, pointe, hip hop, cheering, a worship team, Zumba, etc. They have a Christmas show and an Easter show. There is also a coffee concession stand there that is open to the public.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this studio. Our 3-year-old daughter has been attending for some time now, and the transformation in her confidence and physical skill has been nothing short of incredible.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this studio! My 3 year old daughter absolutely lights up the moment we pull into the parking lot. The environment is so warm and welcoming, but the real stars are Ms. Blair and Ms. Brittany.
Your first ballet class at Desiree Autrey's Academy Of Performing Arts
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.
