From the reviews

My daughter has danced at HDA for 6 years. The staff is absolutely amazing and very talented. Kristin and Jamie truly care about all their dancers. The talent shows during their annual Nutcracker and spring recital. We love our “dance family”!

Amazing dance school that provides character growth and professional dance instruction. Locally. They were the first to provide sensory-friendly performances as part of their ongoing outreach.

★★★★★ — Nate, Jun 2020

My daughter has been dancing at Huntingdon Dance Academy for 4 years now. She has had the opportunity to take a variety of classes and participate in the productions. She has grown so much over the years and has loved every minute of it.

★★★★★ — Molly, Aug 2024

The 23-24 dance season was my daughter's first year with huntingdon dance academy. She is a very shy, quiet girl and doesn't talk to many people outside of our family. She made 3 friends in her class and would always talk to her teacher, Miss. Maggie. We love her. She was also in the nutcracker that huntingdon put on.

Your first ballet class at Huntingdon 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.
