From the reviews
Thank you Ailyn for teaching my kids to dance with love and teaching them to feel the music while dancing. You are knowledgeable and have passion for dancing. There is always a smile on you, you are always on top of your students so they can learn the proper way.
This place is amazing. The teachers is a true ballerina. My four-year-old daughter fell in love with the dance class the moment she walked in. The teacher is very experienced. She is also very welcoming and understanding with the young children. I rate this studio 5 stars!
My four year old daughter fell in love with the dance class the moment she walked in. She loves dancing and the place is amazing. The owners are a lovely and caring family. Hats off, Miss Ailyn!!
Our experience at Independance has been nothing short of exceptional. Our daughter, Elizabeth, has been dancing here for the past 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the progress and joy she has experienced. Elizabeth is fortunate to be under the guidance of two phenomenal teachers, Ailin and Michi.
Your first ballet class at Independance Academy of the 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.
