From the reviews
The stars aligned, the universe spoke, and my daughter made the switch to this amazing studio. After dancing for 10 years (5y-15y) at a legacy studio, she worked up the courage to change...and she has never been happier!
I have been coming to Premier Dance Arts since they opened and can confidently say it is one of the best studios I have been to. The owners who are professional dancers themselves are amazing and make you feel right at home.
I do not leave reviews often but wanted to take the time to talk about our experience at Premier Dance Arts of Los Alamitos and their ballet program for kids. My daughter was a part of another much larger program in Long Beach for 4 years prior to coming to this ballet school in Los Alamitos.
This is an amazing new studio that offers state of the art training for all ages with very large dance rooms with professional sprung flooring/Marley, live piano for classical ballet, instruction from experienced professional dancers/teachers and even offers Pilates, yoga and much more!
Adult ballet at Premier Dance Arts of Los Alamitos Official Home of the Los Alamitos Ballet School
Premier Dance Arts of Los Alamitos Official Home of the Los Alamitos Ballet School 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 Premier Dance Arts of Los Alamitos Official Home of the Los Alamitos Ballet School
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.
