From the reviews

My daughter has been taking hip hop classes here, and we have been so impressed with the studio! Not only has she learned some fantastic moves, but we've also seen a significant boost in her confidence. The instructors are energetic, knowledgeable, and create a really fun and supportive atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Dimitri, May 2025

My daughter started dancing at the age of four until she graduated high school at 17. This was the first, and only, dance studio she ever attended. This studio does an outstanding job in fostering a love for the art of dance. For my daughter this studio was, and still is, like a second home.

★★★★★ — Cristina, Mar 2025

This is my daughters first week of dance classes this year and she cant wait to go to the next class! From the moment you walk in you are welcomed by a caring staff that main priority is the safety of the children. The teacher is great with the kids and is motivates them!

★★★★★ — Claudia, Aug 2023

Your first ballet class at Miami Dance and Music 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.
