From the reviews
** update still at the studio. It's more like a safe comfortable second home. Go!!! Try a class! Amazing! Katie recently took over a studio that had 32 seasons and she has done an EXCEPTIONAL JOB so far!!! The whole studio has been renovated and painted, the staff is warm and inviting, especially to the kids!
We have had a very positive experience at this dance studio. The instructors are patient, professional, and attentive to the children. My child feels encouraged and supported in class and looks forward to attending each week. The studio is clean, well organized, and runs smoothly.
I was a guest instructor at Katie's Dance Academy, and was most impressed by the etiquette, focus, and talent of these dancers! They were respectful, hardworking, but also made me feel at home, like I was amongst new friends! I will look forward to working with these dancers, and Katie, again!
Great transparency and communication throughout COVID times. The studio seems to have a knack for attention to detail. Classes have offered a pretty good variety of styles and are reasonably priced. Looking forward to more experiences with this group. Thanks!
Adult ballet at Katie's Dance Academy
Katie's 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 Katie'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.
