From the reviews

We have been dancing with EBA for 4 years and it's been amazing! The older students are wonderful role models, so kind and nurturing to the younger ones. The teachers are top-notch, and my daughter loves them all. Mr. Roman, Ms. Tatiana, Ms. Viktoria, and Ms.

★★★★★ — Jen, Jan 2025

My daughter has been learning there for 1.5 years since she was 3 years old, she absolutely love going to the ballet class every week. She also enjoy seeing the older girls there and could imagine herself being a real ballerina in one day. She made great progress in the past year and really loved ballet so far.

★★★★★ — Sandy, Jun 2026

My child has been attending classes w EBA since she was 3 years old. We have noticed vast technique improvement over the past year with her current teachers, Mr Romain and Ms Tatiana. We were afraid she would be overworked, but the instructors do a great job of making class fun and working hard.

Your first ballet class at Emerald 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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
