From the reviews

The Kansas Ballet Academy has been absolutely amazing for our DD’s growth and development. She has been with KBA for several years now and has had nothing but great praise for the Academy and her Instructional Staff. Ballet is the highlight of her day.

We have had a wonderful experience at Kansas Ballet Academy. My daughter has danced at KBA for several years. She enjoys all of her classes and we appreciate the professional teaching of classical ballet plus the nurturing environment provided by all the instructors. My young son also enjoys his classes at KBA.

★★★★★ — Hil, Jan 2019

We LOVE Kansas Ballet Academy! We've had a dancer at thier studio since they were a very new studio in town and we have loved every year. We really appreciate all the effort they have put into keeping our daughter "on her toes" even during these crazy times.

Your first ballet class at Kansas Ballet 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.
