From the reviews

We noticed when our son was a baby and toddler her was always dancing to music. This carried on for years and I finally thought we should find him a place where he could learn dance. I found SSOPA and the amazing boys hip hop program. Our son was hesitant to join but after watching one class he was hooked!

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Aug 2022

My daughter has been dancing for 8 years. We made the switch to SSOPA three years ago and we are so happy we did. The minute she stepped into this studio she felt at home. Her dancing has progressed so much in the last three years that would not have happened at the other studio.

★★★★★ — Lisa, Aug 2022

We love SSOPA!! The school is well structured and provides a high quality program. My daughter has grown so much through the program and has developed foundational dance skills. The teachers teach through a fun and friendly environment.

Your first ballet class at Southbury School Of Performing Arts

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.
