“This is the most amazing dance academy for my child to come for dance.”
From the reviews
This is the most amazing dance academy for my child to come for dance. The teachers are so experienced and so good with helping our students improve and correct them when needed. They have a huge variety of classes and great variety of teachers to learn different ways of teaching.
I love taking dance classes here, there is a wide variety of dance classes available to me. Each class is challenging while at the same time, lots of fun! I have grown so much as a dancer. Class times and having two different locations means that I have the flexibility to choose the classes I want.
NCAD is such a great dance studio. My girls feel at home ❤️ We are so impressed with the studio, instructors, and staff. I couldn’t be happier with the instruction, professionalism, and family feel of the studio. NCAD Oceanside is such a great asset to the Oceanside Community.
I give it 5 stars because they have awesome classes and they have tryouts for free and they are not that expensive and there are a lot of people here and it is a good place to make Freinds
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.
