I have a lot of respect for the staff and students at IBA. They are all incredibly disciplined. If you care about your children's passions and dreams, this is where you send them.
Love this school! The front desk is always friendly and willing to help find the right class fit for each child and answer questions. Ms. Meredith is wonderful and great with the younger kids; both my girls love having her 💜❤💙
I also on a local dance studio. Miss Ami does a phenomenal job. Her dancers are top notch at technique. Staff is very well educated and provides a safe space for students.
Your first ballet class at Iowa Ballet 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.
