Ms. Feher is a great ballet teacher. She is such an intense, committed and sweet teacher. My daughter enjoy her ballet lessons. The ballet studio is tucked away in a very quiet green environment beautiful landscape surrounds the studio. Parking situation is super. Such a spacious studio.
My 6 year old daughter really loves taking ballet classes at Kailua Dance Academy and her classes have really helped her develop an interest in ballet. The school does a great job creating performance opportunities for the kids and helping the younger kids pick up the fundamentals of ballet.
We love Kailua Dance Academy! Our older daughter started there in 2018 and now our younger daughter gets to be in the Keiki ballet every Saturday! So great they love to come each week.
Adult ballet at Kailua Dance Academy
Kailua Dance Academy runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. 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 Kailua 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.
