From the reviews
Long before we had a child who was interested in becoming a ballerina, we attended NAU Music and Dance Academy and Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra's free production of the Nutcracker called the Lollipop Concert every Christmas Season.
The NAU Academy is a great place to go for either music or dance instruction. In terms of dance, this is the only place in Flagstaff to my knowledge that offers the Royal Academy of Dance program that allows students to progress through a strong ballet curriculum, and the teachers are all wonderful and clearly love…

Your first ballet class at NAU Community 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.
