From the reviews

My children have taken dance classes all over the world and Fort Bend Academy of Dance provides top-notch training. Their annual recitals are wonderful as they are full ballet productions and not just one class shuffled on stage after another.

A great studio for all ages. My daughter has been dancing here for many years. We feel like they focus on both technique and artistry. The teachers and the director of the studio really cares about their dancers. They have great performances to showcase their training.

Your first ballet class at Fort Bend 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.

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.
