From the reviews

My daughters were so excited about dance and scared at the same time but I have to tell you that Mrs. Ashley are her amazing staff of teachers is by far the best in NW FL. They make each and every dancer feel like they are the most important yet at the same time they push each one to be the best they can be. Mrs.

My daughter started ballet at another studio when she was 2 and hated it- she was reluctant to walk in the class every week and it was like pulling teeth to get her ready to attend class. We switched her over to Five flags after I spoke with Ms Ashley on the phone.

★★★★★ — Alicia, Dec 2020

My daughter started dancing at this studio before she was even 2. She will be 8 next month and this studio and dancing has made such a positive impact on her life. It has built her confidence, made her a social butterfly and taught her about discipline and commitment.

Your first ballet class at Five Flags 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.

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.
