From the reviews
Beautiful Location! Excellent dance choregraphy in all styles especially beautiful ballet, Jazz, lyrical, Hip/Hop, contemporary to name a few. They have many specialty classes for the growing professional ballerina. Fun atmosphere, nice community of families and staff.
Incredible quality and teaching ability starting with the owners and all through the instructors and staff.
North County Academy of Dance has the best teachers, the best dancers, and the best performances. The teachers are knowledgeable, skilled, caring, and fun. I have been coming to this studio off-and-on for myself and my boys for over 10 years. Their family pricing plans make dance classes more affordable too.
My daughter has been taking ballet here for almost two years and she still loves it! They must do a great job if she still gets excited to go each week after two years!
Adult ballet at North County Academy of Dance
North County Academy of Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at North County 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.
