From the reviews

Have had two daughters at OBA over the last 6 years for ballet, and more recently jazz as well. Best experience ever, professional staff and teachers, the performances are always amazing. Would recommend everyone to consider OBA as the place to go.

★★★★★ — David, Apr 2013

We love OBA! It is a truly special studio. From the first time I visited and my daughter had a trial class we were treated with so much warmth and kindness. Megan knows all the children by name and is always welcoming to them.

★★★★★ — Amy, May 2025

Oregon Ballet Academy has been a positive addition to my children’s lives for over 10 years now! 6 of my children have enjoyed classes with OBA and we are continuing to send kids there! John is a genius at choreographing his own renditions of performances like Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Snow White….

★★★★★ — Katie, Dec 2023

Your first ballet class at Oregon Ballet Academy

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.
