From the reviews

We have been dancing at LA Dance since my daughter was 2.5 years old. She took a couple preschool classes, kinder dance, and is now in her second year of pre-comp. We have loved almost all of her teachers. The one teacher we weren't happy with was only there for the one year.

I’ve just joined LA Dance Academy a few years ago and my experience since has been super positive! The staff are all very helpful and supportive of everyone and always willing to put in the extra effort to make everyone’s experience great.

Your first ballet class at L.A. Dance

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.
