From the reviews
We love Fierce!! Miss Alexa is so kind and caring to each dancer and takes the time to get to know them and their strengths individually. My daughter loves this studio so much!!
I highly recommend Alexa’s Dance Studio. Both of my daughters dance there, and we’ve had an amazing experience from the very beginning. Alexa creates a warm, supportive, and professional environment where the girls not only learn proper technique, but also build confidence, discipline, and a true love for dance.
We celebrated our daughter's birthday at Fierce, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made! The party was energetic, joyful, and packed with fun - with dancing, games, and face decorations that the kids absolutely loved. A huge thank you to Alexa and the entire team!
Fierce Dance Academy is an amazing studio! The adult class is my favorite. Alexa’s choreography is so fun and creative! Her passion and dedication to dance really shows.
Adult ballet at Fierce Academy of Dance
Fierce Academy of Dance 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 Fierce Academy of Dance
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.
