From the reviews

Nice place to bring your child/ren to dance. All of the staff seem very knowledgeable and teach well. I wish there were more diversity amongst the students/staff.

★★★★★ — Jesselynne, Feb 2021

This transformative dance studio, owned by an outstanding, classically-trained dancer and backed by a group of talented and loyal instructors, will teach your child to dance. More importantly, along the way your child will learn artistry, athleticism and develop a healthy mind and body.

Your first ballet class at North Dakota 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.
