From the reviews
Tengo una prima que va a este studio de baile y siempre abla de que amables son las maestras y las cosas que apriendo en su classe. Le encanta que las niñas en su classe estan cerca de su edad y a mi me encanta que las niñas en la officicna son bilingues
My daughter has been taking dance lessons in ballet, lyrical/jazz, and hip hop here for about 2 years now. Every instructor she's had has brought out the best in her and has inspired her to do more in dance. The lessons she's learned here go way beyond how to plié or jeté.
I can't recommend Pittsburg Performing Arts Academy enough. Miss Sharon and her amazing staff have cultivated a love of performing arts that will be with my daughter her entire life. Over the last 7 years I've watched my daughter grow in skill and confidence on and off the stage because of what she is learning at PPAA.
Sharon and her team do a wonderful job. They offer an array of dance and music options. The prices are reasonable. They communicate really well with us parents. They've accommodated special requests and my kid loves the teachers.
Adult ballet at Pittsburg Performing Arts Academy (formerly Delta Ballet Academy)
Pittsburg Performing Arts Academy (formerly Delta Ballet Academy) 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 Pittsburg Performing Arts Academy (formerly Delta 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.
