From the reviews
We love Heinz Academy! My sixth grade daughter has been attending since preschool and can't wait for class each week. The owner is helpful, responsive and cares for her students. I really appreciate the modest costumes and choreography and the high value they place on a non-competitive environment.
My daughter started dance classes this fall, after partaking in one of their dance camps last summer. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience so far. The staff are friendly, supportive and welcoming and my 5 year old absolutely loves it.
My daughter has attended Heinz Academy for 3 or 4 years now. She absolutely loves dancing and especially Miss Morgan!! She looks forward to dance every week. Thank you Miss Jackie and team!
My dancer has been dancing for nine years and the growth and confidence we have seen in her during this time amazes me. The studio and teachers really value progress over perfection, which allows confidence to soar and attitudes of positivity.
Your first ballet class at Heinz Academy for 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.
