From the reviews

My daughter loves Julia's Academy and so do I. Yulia is an amazing teacher and human being, very knowledgable, disciplined, and kind. My daughter has made huge progress and is always looking forward to her ballet classes. The end-of-the-year show/recital is always lovely and fun.

My daughter has been going to Julia's for 3 years, she absolutely loves it!! All the teachers are great and their yearly recitals are always something we look forward to. You don't have to be a "ballet is life" kind of person to go here, but also, you can be. There is a spot for everyone!

Your first ballet class at Julia'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.

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.
