From the reviews

As a dance teacher, I adore working in this encouraging, welcoming, and intrinsically rewarding environment. I highly recommend JCAC’s dance classes to anyone looking for a supportive atmosphere. I also love that a wide array of dance styles are equally valued here when it comes to performance.

★★★★★ — Christina, Sep 2022

As someone who took lessons from these teachers for many years, I can say that this is a wonderful school to attend. I've had experience in many other studio settings, and by far this is the best place to take lessons.

★★★★★ — Mia, Jan 2023

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a couple of months now and are loving taking dance lessons with Mia. She’s so patient and obviously loves to teach. Coming to class is the highlight of our week!

Your first ballet class at Johnson City Arts Center

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.
