“My daughter has been taking classes at DWMA for five years and we have been very pleased with the program.”
What families & students say
“My daughter is someone who loves to do everything( and I mean everything) but she will gladly give up every other extra curricular activity just so she can do Musical theatre.”
“That year at her spring recital we started to talk to the amazing dance teachers and you could tell how much they truly care about the kids.”
From the reviews
My children attend the Friday afternoon homeschool class. Staff is friendly, the studio is beautiful and clean, and my children love it. I schedule Kroger grocery pickup immediately following their class, making it very convenient. Miss Andrea also features the most affordable recital costs I've ever seen!
My daughter started tap and ballet with DWMA at her elementary school in 2022. She would come home every Friday so excited to show us what she had learned. That year at her spring recital we started to talk to the amazing dance teachers and you could tell how much they truly care about the kids.
My daughter has been taking classes at DWMA for five years and we have been very pleased with the program. The prices are reasonable, my daughter has learned a lot, and the recitals are always well done. Highly recommended!
Love the fun atmosphere and structured classes with great skill progression for the kids. Adult ballet on Sat is so much fun too! Only studio I've found where adults have a chance to perform!!
Adult ballet at DWMA Ballet Academy
DWMA Ballet 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 DWMA Ballet 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.
