From the reviews
Moving into the metro-Atlanta area, we wanted to find the right place for our daughter to continue dancing and further develop those skills. From experience, we knew a few things that we wanted and didn’t want: we wanted professional instructors and not just nice teachers with degrees.
I have 2 daughters who are in their 5th year at GAD, and we have taken classes at both the Newnan and Peachtree City studios. When we first started here, we were a little intimidated by the size of the dance school, but we're so glad that we chose this place over other dance studios.
My family moved to the area about a year ago and we needed to find a new studio for our daughters dance. We were worried that no where would be as good as where she had danced in the past. Georgia Academy of Dance has far exceeded our expectations.
It is a great environment with modern dance instruction and engaging instructors. Two boys and two girls have taken classes here and had a wonderful time. It is a classical studio that I am proud to have my daughters attend (and they loved it). Nothing cringy here. Only classy. The shows are outstanding.
Your first ballet class at Georgia Academy of Dance & the Performing Arts
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.
