From the reviews
I have been dancing at Performing Arts Academy since I was 2 1/2 and throughout my years dancing here the service and skills have impressed me. The studio is very clean and well taken care of. Classes and especially recitals always run on time and overall the studio is very organized.
This dance studio is amazing. I love all the classes and teachers they are all so nice and fun. The classes I take are very beneficial and superb. This is my favorite place to go. I love it!
This studio is my daughter’s second home. Here she receives phenomenal training and loves every moment spent at PAA!
Your first ballet class at Performing Arts 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.
