★★★★★ — Abby, Dec 2013

Excellent and professional instructors and students. They bring in guest artists to teach from Carolina Ballet, and offer a variety of dance styles. Excellent program and the best in town.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Feb 2017

We took a private dance lesson to learn some simple steps before our wedding because we had very little dancing experience. Sandi was enthusiastic, personable, and most important of all, patient and encouraging. Dancing has never been my strong suit, but Sandi somehow was able to teach me and instill confidence!

Your first ballet class at NC Academy of Dance Arts

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.
