From the reviews
My son Shane just started with Joy Dance Academy. We could not be happier with his experience. He had never danced before but he loves it now. Tori and Michelle are above and beyond the most incredible teachers! They are amazing people! They meet each child where they are and teach them individually.
We enrolled my daughter for her first season with Joy Dance Academy this past year and she absolutely loved it! She was in the Little Joy class and looked forward to every single week.
Our daughter has been dancing with Joy Dance Academy since she was 3, she is now 10. It has been a wonderful experience working with talented , dedicated , and professional dance instructors. She has learned proper technique and is now a beautiful dancer. She has fostered friendships along the way.
This was our daughter’s rookie season at JDA. She came in very shy and a ballet novice, but has really blossomed. Can’t say enough about the staff and the beautiful recital they put on at the end of the season. Very professional and life changing for our girl. We can’t wait to grow more together. Thank you JDA !
Your first ballet class at Joy 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.
