From the reviews
Disappointing to see some of the bad reviews. I can not speak for the upper level classes but I very much liked what I saw my 3/4year old daughter learning in her class. I saw her learning a lot of the core fundamentals and very quickly at that. I really enjoyed the style and methods Ms.
Being at the ballet studio for 13 years has been such a blessing. Having the opportunity to learn and train with the Royal Academy of Dance has taught me more than just ballet. Learning the syllabus and preparing for the annual exam has taught me discipline and perseverance to strive to perform well in the exam.
WE love Royal Academy of Ballet, especially because it is a dedicated, loving, and successful environment for any young ballerina. My daughter started with Ms. Vivienne at 2.5years old and just loves to go to class. I love how wonderful she is with the children, you can feel the genuine care she has for her students.
Ms. Vivienne is an amazing and incredibly supportive teacher. Her teaching style is very hands-on and she is patient with each student. Personally, I had to take a hiatus from dance due to a series of injuries and she has helped me tremendously as I recently returned to the studio.
Your first ballet class at Royal Academy of Ballet
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.
