From the reviews
You will not find a better dance and aerial instructor. My daughter, son, and I all take lessons from Joyce. We had tried lessons at different places, but nothing worked until we found this studio. Joyce is tough but very loving, which works perfectly for our family.
I have used Joyce and a choreographer and movement director many times. She is an excellent creative partner. She brings legit professionalism to my team and exemplifies dedication and focus to her art. She is able to work with many levels of dancers and challenges them to be their best.
My daughter has tried many different sports and activities…but nothing really seemed to keep her interested. I happen to find Joyce Lemos’ studio by chance and after the first class - my daughter was hooked! Here we are, two years later and my daughter is still loving her aerial classes.
Joyce Lemos Aerial Arts and Dance Academy I would consider it to be the best aerial studio in the Orlando and Winter Park area hands down. The owner and former international circus artist Joyce Lemos is a great instructor and encourages all of her students to grow as artists in a healthy and positive way.
Adult ballet at Joyce Lemos Aerial Arts & Dance Academy
Joyce Lemos Aerial Arts & Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Joyce Lemos Aerial Arts & 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.
