⭐Every child friendly dance studio!⭐ If anyone is interested in getting your child into dance, my son has been at North Texas Dance Arts for a little over a year and it's been an incredible experience.

Highly recommend. I am so glad we joined the North Texas Dance Arts Family! Ms. Rachel is a great teacher - so kind and patient with her little dancers and fun! I loved the teachers so much I signed up for the Adult Ballet class!
We love North Texas Dance Arts! Our daughter is four and we chose this studio for her to take her first dance class because they offer day time classes that work better for our family than evening classes. I'm so glad we did! Emily and Rachel are so sweet and so passionate about what they do.
NTDA has been such a blessing from the Lord! Being able to get back into ballet and dance through their adult ballet sessions has brought back a true joy to my life. I’m so thankful to be able to workout in such a peaceful, lovely, and well cared for studio. The instructors are knowledgeable, passionate, and kind.
Adult ballet at North Texas Dance Arts
North Texas Dance Arts 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 Texas 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.
