From the reviews
I cannot say enough good things about this dance studio. First of all, the front staff is so nice and welcoming. Miss Judy is so sweet with the kids. Her assistants are also very sweet and seem to enjoy teaching. The lessons are well organized and they also show discipline and fun through dance.
I highly recommend Judy’s Dance academy! We’ve had an amazing experience at this dance studio! The instructors are incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly care about each child. The studio is always clean and well-organized, and communication about schedules and events is clear and consistent.
Judy’s Dance Academy is truly a top-notch studio. From day one, we’ve never felt like just another customer—they treat you like family. My daughter has been dancing here for a few years now, and she absolutely loves it. She wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!
My daughter has been dancing at Judy’s for 4 years, and she has had a wonderful dance experience. It is a warm, friendly atmosphere that comes from the top down without the pressure/rigidity of other studios. The recitals are always very well put together as well. Would highly recommend Judy’s!
Your first ballet class at Judy's 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.
