From the reviews
My girls have been dancing at South Shore Dance Academy for five years now. When originally looking for a studio for them we were hoping for something fun to introduce them to. SSDA has exceeded all of our expectations. The girls began dance and formed fast friendships with their peers and also with Sara.
My two daughters have attended South Shore Dance Academy since 2015. Starting at the ages of 19 mos. and newborn and we have loved it ever since! We started with Mommy and Me classes that were a perfect fit for our family. My daughters have grown with the studio and continue to love dance classes and Ms. Sara!
SSDA truly deserves 5 stars! Miss Sara is amazing! She is a beautiful dancer, artist, teacher, and friend/mentor to all the families/dancers! Both of my girls love south shore dance academy. We have been in the studio 5 years and it is not just a dance company but a family.
South Shore Dance Academy is absolutely amazing. My daughter is entering her 9th year of dancing with the studio. Ms. Sara is an incredible role model and the most patient teacher. All of the SSDA dancers/families are lucky to be part of this incredible dance community.
Your first ballet class at South Shore 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.
