From the reviews

If you’re looking for professional dance instruction with a focus on classical ballet training- this is the school for you. My daughter who is currently enrolled has been dancing here for 11 years. My son danced here for 2 years.

★★★★★ — Culbreth, Dec 2023

I love the awesome atmosphere, energy, professionalism, and kindness the directors have brought to JDT. We’ve been blessed with their connections, JDT dancers have been able to meet and dance with professional Ballet dancers from around the globe.

Your first ballet class at Juneau Dance Theatre

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.
