From the reviews
My daughter has been attending SPAA since she was in first grade. She graduated from high school last year and through the years, she found her passion in dance. The staff and instructors all have extensive professional experience in the classes they teach.
Our child has been attending this academy for three years and truly loves it. The teachers and staff are incredibly kind, professional, and well organized. You can genuinely feel how much they care about the children and their growth, both as dancers and as individuals.
To the creative team and all staff at SPAA, a note of gratitude. For so many little kindnesses. Ms. Anna taking the time to contact the parents because a kid was lightly upset about leaving her waterbottle, and then making sure to bring that waterbottle to the kid. Ms.
We have been at Scripps Performing Arts Academy for almost 3 years now and it just keeps getting better!! Ms. Angela puts all of her heart and soul into each and every student and she loves them like they’re her own.
Your first ballet class at Scripps Performing Arts Academy Scripps Ranch
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.
