From the reviews
Sierra Academy of Dance is wonderful. My daughter is still young but has learned SO much in her short time of attending this studio. The teachers are all very professional and the owner is a professional ballerina with the biggest heart. We just had our first recital prior to Christmas this year and it was incredible!
Leila (sorry, I’m sure I butchered the spelling of your name) is absolutely fantastic! My 3 year old loves her class and Leila does such a good job of instructing her and the other students.
Your first ballet class at Sierra Academy of Dance
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.
