From the reviews

My daughter has been taking dance dance at Shreveport Dance Academy for almost 9 years. We were there through the ownership change, and I must say, it’s a breath of fresh air!

★★★★★ — Sheshe01, May 2023

Boy mom here! When my 8 year old son asked to take dance, I had no idea where to begin. I asked around and SDA was recommended more than any other studio in the area. Three years later, SDA has become my home away from home. The staff at SDA is highly accredited, full of patience , warmth, and professionalism.

★★★★★ — Sonya, May 2022

I’ve been lucky enough to grow up at SDA. Starting as a student and then moving into dancing with the senior company and competition ensemble, then to principle dancer and faculty member. I’ve learned so much from the amazing teachers and choreographers at the studio.

★★★★★ — Emily, Nov 2019

My daughter has been dancing with Shreveport Dance Academy for nearly nine years. Honestly, we didn’t love the previous owner, but loved several of the teachers which is why we stayed and I’m glad we did because our favorite teacher, Keeley Pratt, took over ownership and what a breathe of fresh air it has been.

Your first ballet class at Shreveport 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.
