From the reviews
I've been going to this academy for 9 years. I'm confident in saying, this is the best training you'll get in Vegas for ballet. I always leave the studio sweating and feeling good. It's not easy of course, but if you are serious about ballet, this is the place to learn.
I did a summer intensive at Kwak Ballet Academy 3 years ago and I improved tremendously! Now I'm a student and Ms. Yoomi and Mr. Kyudong pushed me to my best abilities that I didn't know I had in me. They are the best teachers I could ever ask for.
Yoomi and Kyudong are the best ballet teachers! They really challenge you positively and help you understand things step by step!
i have been there for 3 years they are so nice and helped me push my hardest if you want a ballet academy that pushes your children to try their best i recommend kwak ballet academy
Adult ballet at Kwak Ballet Academy
Kwak Ballet 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 Kwak 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.
