From the reviews

We absolutely love Miss Richelle, Miss Debbie and everyone at PHDA! It is a great "family" to be a part of! We have four kids who all attend classes and we wouldn't think of going anywhere else! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dance studio for their child or children.

★★★★★ — Christy, Jan 2018

We have danced with Pleasant Hill Dance Academy for the last 13 years. This has been the best experience for both of my girls. They love all the staff and have grown so much being part of the National Award Winning Competition Dance Team.

Your first ballet class at Pleasant Hill Dance 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.
