From the reviews

My daughter has been dancing her for 3 years. I must say it has been a great experience for her. She has learned a lot in each class and her confidence is continuously increasing.

★★★★★ — Damese, Jun 2017

I taught at Norma's Academy of Dance (NAOD) for 7 years, and I have NEVER experience what Christopher Plunkett is talking about. Djana Bell has always conducted herself and her business in a professional manner.

★★★★★ — Edward, Dec 2016

My daughter has been attending this academy for almost a year and she has thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff members are helpful and informative. They maintain a safe and clean environment. They offer a vast array of classes based on skill level and interest. I highly recommend.

★★★★★ — Joanna, Dec 2024

Take it from a parent's perspective that Norma's Academy of Dance (NAOD) undoubtedly provides unparalleled dance training to a multiplicity of students in Metro Atlanta.

Your first ballet class at Norma's Academy of 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.
